Spy sources in Moscow today made the astonishing claim that a US undercover operation may have sabotaged a new Russian Superjet plane that crashed in Indonesia two weeks ago.

The aircraft was on a demonstration flight aimed at securing lucrative orders when it slammed into a mountain killing all 45 passengers and crew.

'We are investigating the theory that it was industrial sabotage,' a GRU military intelligence source said.

"A headline to a story in Russia's biggest newspaper Komsomolskaya Pravda today read: 'Are the Americans implicated in the Superjet crash?'

'We know that they have special technology - that we also have - to jam signals from the ground or cause parameter readings to malfunction,' said the unnamed intelligence official, highlighting a US military presence at Jakarta Airport from where the plane took off on May 9."

Vlad needs an enemy to focus the anger of the Sheeple on, and he has picked us, an easy target.

Russian rhetoric has REALLY heated up, while the US Media pretends not to notice, because it might make the Queer Media Messiah look bad, and endanger his reelection chances.

NOTE TO MOD: Title too long to fit.

Not bad for a pilot to fly straight and level into a mountain. He wanted to hit 5000 feet lower.

We have a secret weapon that turns pilots into hotdogs.

Shades of Ron Brown!

Whoops! Can that be construed as racist?

I guess blaming it on the Poles might invite some uncomfortable questions.

Yes, American spies did it. That's much more plausible than Russian engineers

Someone on their side would say, “Blame the crash on anything else. Blame it on the Bossa Nova. But don’t blame it on an American secret weapon, you fools.”

The “we have it too” statement makes them sound like North Korea. Can they really have gotten this bad at this game?

The pilot requested and was granted permission to descend to 6,000 feet. It crashed into a mountain only several dozen feet different from that altitude. A 7,200 foot mountain. There was no sign of any fault with the almost new aircraft before the crash. The cause seems obvious but is just too embarrassing to mention. Pilot error.

That permission was given by the US agent?

Caught!

It was OUR Secret Super Psychic (SSP) who we have hidden at Area 51.

SSP is so good, that SSP just willed it, and it happened.

I don’t think so...............I think the pilot was lower so some of the passengers could take close ups of the volcano and bam! The plane crashed into the volcano
