    it’s war, not a meeting:

    IF Ukraine hadn’t any idea that their POWs were in that transport,

    AND Russian transports are a significant-means of Russia’s genociding Ukraine,

    THEN automatically targetting Russian transports is right to be doing, in that context.

    End. Of. Story.

    Shit happens.

    Especially in war.

    Adding an extra checklist-point to see IF it is possible to discover what’s in an enemy transport, while you’ve got a second-or-2 to shoot it down, … obliterates scarce opportunity to dent enemy capability.

    At least they died quickly, unlike those who died in the Russian torture-chambers, in Russian custody.

      This is an IL-76. It’s literally the one of the largest whales of an aircraft used by Russia.

      There’s no reason it should be in Belgorod otherwise, because it’s radar signature is fucking enormous.
