There is presently a rather large media blitz taking place in the U.S. and Europe about a Ukrainian F-16 that is no more. The media blitz is insisting the plane "crashed." They are running this media blitz to impress on everyone the plane was not shot down BY RUSSIA. With me so far?
The plane . . . . did crash.
What they aren't telling you is that it "crashed" after being hit by a (Ukraine-Fired) PATRIOT Air Defense Missile ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
"According to my knowledge, the F-16 of the Ukrainian pilot Alexei Mes was shot down by the 'patriot' air defense system due to poor coordination between the units. It was recorded in the reports that he 'couldn't find his way around,'" said Ukrainian member of the Verkhovna Rada Mariana Bezuglai.
They shot their own plane down! Of course, the pilot - who was trained for 6+ months by US/NATO to fly the thing, -- is also dead.
Ukraine: The gang who couldn't shoot straight!
