Old man hero propaganda. Make it a little girl who took it down with a slingshot.

He is holding a shotgun? Maybe he shot down a quail and mistook it for a Russian Warplane.

Absolutely true. It does happen, though.

And the plane WAS low and slow (I’ve seen much better videos; Russians are amazingly vulnerable due to lack of good smart bombs.)

AND there was no obvious SAM or AAA.

So it’s possible.

Do I think it is more likely that something just broke due to it being Russian junk? And the old man happened to take a lot shot about the same time? Yes.

Sounds like idiocy to me.

Belief is becoming hard, is that not a shotgun? I guess it was loaded with jet shot.

Nice ‘rifle’ ... is that a 12 gauge ‘rifle’?
