Probably more like someone from the Ukraine shot it down. Imagine russia would have better radar capabilities and not make that mistake.Classyposter58;1636850 wrote:Oh boy if it was Russia shit's about to get real -

Well it was in eastern Ukraine where everything was happening but this flight was not lost by any means. Was tracked the whole way on CNN and then an hour ago it just disappears at 35,000 feetgut;1636856 wrote:Lost, unidentified plane flies into restricted radar space...yeah post 9/11 you're probably gonna get shotdown. -

Man oh man if this was Russia... They're fucked. Because not even China is going to back shooting down a passenger plane, especially one from their region. -

It flew over the same space most flights do they said. BUT since Russia has shot down two Ukraine planes his week, they said it'd be highly likely that any deviation from that path at all and they'd shoot it down.

Either the rebels got it from Russia, or Russia did it. You just can't get missiles like that on the black market and this will probably begin an all out war between Ukraine and Russia. It's almost textbook history, a major commercial transport is attacked during moments of trouble and it sparks a war

US shot down an Iranian commerical airline in the mid to late 80s when it was flying over Iranian airspace.Classyposter58;1636889 wrote:Either the rebels got it from Russia, or Russia did it.

Of course, Iran probably didnt want any part of a war with US and we ended up paying alot of $$$$ but it iddnt start a war -

Haha exactly. But when there is a looming conflict ahead it almost certainly pushes the two sides towards it. Another thing I don't like is the fact that the Malaysian flag looks a little bit like ours so it makes you think about that toothavoice;1636891 wrote:US shot down an Iranian commerical airline in the mid to late 80s when it was flying over Iranian airspace.

Manhattan BuckeyeI'm not sure there are many flights from American carriers that would go that route, especially since there are only 3 now and United's international flights from Europe to SE Asia likely fly under the One World badge. If anything the British Airways flights look more like Malaysia Airlines.
Also, difficult to see the flag at 500+ mph. -
Classyposter58
True. Either way this proves that Russia is giving the separatists some serious weapons which leads me to believe they are probably planning an all out offensive on Ukraine. I mean Russia can now attack Ukraine at will and have complete air defense from any counter-offensivesManhattan Buckeye;1636895 wrote:I'm not sure there are many flights from American carriers that would go that route, especially since there are only 3 now and United's international flights from Europe to SE Asia likely fly under the One World badge.

Well, he is going to Martha's Vineyard for 16 days, even though our borders have been opened up to tens of thousands of illegal aliens now running amok. -
