Boeing and Airbus aircraft in Russia can't replace expired parts because of sanctions ... so they're supposed to be grounded

But Putin ordered them to keep flying anyway ... only a matter of time until serious crashes occur

Maybe one will happen before next March's election, then Putin can explain to the Russian people why he deliberately & irresponsibly chose to endanger them

If this is true, why do the Ukies need so much money to shoot them down?

[Celtic Conservative]

To be honest, Russia is behind the curve on safety and maintenance anyhow. But you’re right, as the current sanctions continue there are pretty good odds of major incidents.

Russia is doomed, sanctions will cripple them, they are running out of ammo and are fighting with shovels( no really MSM reported that last summer)

I am pretty certain that Russian manufacturers are beginning to crank out replacement parts and, in the near future, will begin to sell them at prices that undercut Boeing.

Another News’weak’ propaganda installment-

Premise: Sanctions hurt Russia because Putin Man Bad

Reality: Sanctions backfired and hurt the west, but misery loves company so make up something with statistics so Russia is suffering too.

1999 a coworker had to goto Russia, and on an internal Aeroflot flight, he said he could see the cords on two of the tires showing and knowing he had to take the same flight back was not happy...
