Officials said the aircraft “was not shot down,” offering no further details

It wasn't Ukraine it was 100% our own incompetence...
Russia is losing it completely, they can't even make decent propaganda anymore. 🤣

There are rumours that the An was downed by a Firepoint 1 or 2 drone...

I mean this is the kind of shit that happens when you try to bullshit air defense like russia does. Depending on the situation, hitting a large cargo aircraft wouldn't be too hard with a fixed wing drone, or even a quadcopter in the right circumstances I guess, but the point is where the fuck was their air defenses? I don't know why the world still treats russia like it is a military superpower, this is pathetic, they are just willing to condemn their entire next generation to death rather than evolve.

Please show it, You can copy paste images easily in Lemmy, and a link to the source would be nice too.

I saw it I think at RFU News Strategic, and also at Jake Bro, but it has not yet been confirmed so for me it's, well, not confirmed.

Edit: have been looking but can't seem to find it.
