    Both Ukraine and Russia have had problems with their own anti-air targeting their own assets. It’s not implausible that it might happen in the relative chaos that has been unleashed this past week between separate countries.

    I’m not sure which is more embarrassing, getting shot by a Patriot battery or Iranian AA. It’s not a good look any way you cut it. And with the preponderance of video it’d be really easy to determine where the AA shot from. So you’ve if you’re going to lie it should be easy to disprove, and for little gain.

    This admin isn’t to be trusted, but this is one story that I’m more willing to take at face value. Why schools and hospitals are getting targeted and how they’re going to explain that is something I’d be slower to accept.
