Not when their is a military training in the area. Out of safety for both the military and the civilian vessel,it is common to redirect any plane with emergency if that is possible, and looking at the footage it seems the plane still had plenty of fuel to reach a different airport.

Still wondering why the pilot did not dump the fuel on approach and risked the plane blowing up as it did on landing.

Yes we should spend more time focusing on the pilot!

Not blaming the pilot at all, we don't not know what happened apart from this accusation toward Russia. It's possible that the pilot was hit with a shrapnel and was too badly injured to follow proper procedures.

Not blaming Russia either as this could be another north stream case.

All we know for now is that the plane made a emergency landing and exploded a second or two after touching the ground.

Lol you're literally just coming up with fictional hypothetical scenerios to defend Russia. You have actual experts stating it looked like it was caused by air defense.

Russia also refused to let them land on their territory which certainly resulted in more deaths.

Funny when it comes to the IDF you logically use a high degree of skepticism, as one should, but when it comes to Russia you're ready to lick the boot and give as much benefit of the doubt as possible.

As if there's a difference.

IDF is commiting a genocide against defenseless people inside a concentration camp while Russia is fighting a war against those armed by a group known to do false flag attack.

You don't need to be a genius to see how different those two are.

Why you comparing them? Are you a Zionist looking for a excuse?

lol I'm not. But clearly you are a tankie and a Russia supporter. Russia is undoubtedly committing massive war crimes as an invading force, and has killed and targeted thousands of innocent civilians.

The fact you refer to it as "fighting a war", using the exact same rhetoric zionists use to justify acts against humanity is beyond ironic.

The level of hypocrisy is unreal. And exactly my point.

WTF are you talking about? Russia war in Ukraine is a tekst book high tech warfare from both sides. This accusation also proofs that same fact as Grozny was attacked with drones at the time this plane flew around that region.

I'm looking at what we have and not what's been told by those with an agenda.

Lmfao text book warfare? If you think this is anything short of a psychotic land grab by Putin you're delusional.

"Told by those with an agenda"

Man you sound exactly like a zionist talking about Palestinians being murdered.

Please tell me more about how you are an anti imperialist, anti military, pro human rights activist.

What a joke.

The fact I'm getting downvoted too lol.

Tankies claiming to care about human rights while supporting Russia are such a fucking joke.
