    Russians shoot down another of their Flankers - thereby opening up a discussion about fratricide risk in war.

    It’s probably just shit training.

    Poor chap, imagine training your whole life just to be shot down by a friendly.

    Nice shot though.

      They probably got scooped from a jail cell and plopped into that because they could fly a crop duster. Let’s not pretend the Russian military is full of elite soldiers

    I didn’t know the Ukrainians had Flankers. I thought the MiG 29 was their most advanced jet.
