What a joke (or maybe not depending on perspective). Russia shoots down 2 of its own planes & 3 of its own helicopters.
SU34 us$36m
SU35 us$50m
SI8 us$17m
Add guides missiles at say $4m a piece & not to forget lives.
I can see why the parade of the immortals was cancelled. A touch embarrassing shooting yourself in the foot.

A variation on Oscar Wilde quote.
To lose one aeroplane may be regarded as a misfortune, to lose many looks like carelessness.

It must be very hard for Putin to decide which way to spin his lies. Ukraine is saying nothing, so the ball is with Putin. If he says that Ukraine shot down the aircraft, then he's making the enemy look good. Otherwise, if he says that the downing of the aircraft was the result of friendly fire, then he's making the Russians look bad.
