They don’t have IFF? You’d think that would be essential when both sides have the same aircraft.

Russian invaders from the air defense shot down their own plane, which was flying in the sky......

LOL.....not sure where else the plane would be performing this act.....

My skepticism meter just automatically goes up a few notches when I see the following phrases in a title regarding the war in Ukraine:

Ukraine claims
Ukraine says
Zelensky claims
Zelensky says
Russia claims
Russia says
Putin says
Putin claims

...Russians at first commented believing that a Ukrainian plane had been shot down. The video was then reportedly deleted after it became clear that it was a Russian bomber.

Trust, but verify.

Shooting down one’s own aircraft has been a thing since WWI. Ground based AA artillery are infamous for indiscriminately firing on every plane they see. IFF can help but never discount buck fever.

Technically the SU34 isn’t a bomber. Ain’t media accuracy impressive?

The SU34 is a fighter/bomber not a “bomber”.

Are they certain it wasn’t the Ghost of Kyiv?

It’s a good thing Russia brought all those mobile incinerators!

Ruzzian clowns. If Vlad was informed, his blood pressure went through the roof.

$36M for a fighter-bomber equivalent to the F-15E? I don’t think so. Not even by Russia’s creative accounting methods.

Russia announces a 300,000 Ruble reward for shooting down an enemy aircraft and hours later a Russian SU-34 is shot down by friendly fire. I think the idiot who did it will be a little disappointed in the “reward” he receives.

Well this is awkward. The woketards running our Navy just sank one of our own ships. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/world/us-warship-sunk-by-missile-fire-in-pacific-training-exercise/ar-AAZIfDq

Wonder what the price tag is on that.
