Russia Celebrates Downing Bomber Before realizing it was Theirs



This was a lucky shot or you could say unlucky. The artillery rocket they used to down this plane is a blind bomb that has no guidance whatsoever. It all depends on the trigger guy and the wind. This artillery is not used to shoot down airplanes since that is the most difficult thing to do. You need either an eat-seeking missile or a GPS-guided missile. But the Trger men were lucky that the other two exploded way ahead of the low-flying plane on the third shot. The third was a lucky shot. The Russians were so anxious for any good news they started celebrating in Moscow the downing of the plane. Its almost impossible to shoot an airplane with blind ordinances such as a missile but this crew did it. Do you think Putin will now decorate them? Actually Im sure he would have and never admit the truth but you had a Ukrainian drone nearby taping and the pilot of the plane behind the downed one cursed and said to the other plotots that if the tried to shoot him he would shoot back (blue on blue, they call it). That happened many times with artillery and planes shooting their own troops.

(Global Recap)

Russian troops mistakenly celebrated shooting down a Ukrainian jet, only to discover it was their own.

  • The Jet: The Su-25, believed to be hit by a Russian missile, was initially reported as a Ukrainian loss.

  • Ukraine: Ukraine’s air force refuted this, thanking Russian anti-aircraft gunners for the error.

  • Backtrack: Later, Russia claimed the plane “crashed” due to low visibility.

The fog of war is real
