tl;dr Russian SAM crews have shit software/little training, are under stress, and have a very short amount of time to decide what to hit and what not to hit in a target rich environment where both high value and low value missile are being fired constantly. Oh, and there are planes and drones too, friendly and hostile.
Russian tech is practically analogue.
They see a blip on the radar screen, and they have to decide if they want to shoot at it or not.
They don't really know if it's a Himars missile or one of their own jets travelling alone. They don't really know if it's a Bayraktar or one of their helis.
They could wait and see, probe it more to find out more, but they don't have much time, and imagine the pressure, maybe the blip is coming straight at them.
They're also Russians, so yeah. Not particularly smart and responsible.
Did they steal washing machines thinking they were advanced electronics and displays?
Checked.
They stole electric kettles leaving the bases behind. So, yeah, they absolutely did.
Because both sides have the same planes (Su-27-30), so without proper IFF this is bound to happen. The ukranians shot dows several of their own Su-27 in Kiev when they were paranoid of Russian Airstrikes: https://militarywatchmagazine.com/article/ukraine-shot-down-its-own-su-27-fighter-over-kiev-as-air-war-tide-turns-against-it-reports
This is what happens when neither side has proper AEWC planes

They are not shooting down their own aircraft. All aircraft are the enemy of air defenses.
It is the operator's responsibility to keep the air defense from killing specific aircraft.
Saying something like that would get you banned. Stop calling everything you don't like "reddit", especially if you don't have a clue about Internet culture.
lets have little bit respect here. Russia with first Sattelite in space. first animals and FIRST HUMANE in space. also the first ICBM.. they have gained a TON truck of knowledge.. dont discount them,, very dangerous bear if poked
Suicide pact.
It’s overpriced garbage made by subhumans for subhumans.
SAMs don't shoot down their own planes, it's the guy pulling the trigger.
SAM is a good boy!
A shitty iff system, or air defense operator turned out to be an moronic
If you want an explanation:

Oh, and there are planes and drones too, friendly and hostile.
Because there aren't any civilian aircraft over Ukraine anymore.

hey if it works it works even if it is quite undignified.

>steal washing machines thinking they were advanced electronics and displays?
Compared to russian tech they are advanced electronics and displays
If I was a Russian pilot, I'd wish to be dead too.
It not SAM. It was Pilot getting off planned route and faulty IFF that didnt work, made operator think it was Ukrainian jet so he shoot it down.
Su-35BM are still brand new modernization, so I'm not surprised that Ruskie fricked up proper maintenance of basic systems.

Lmao.
apparently deconfliction zone isn't a thing in russia AD doctrine

Kinda going against the board narrative there, friend.

>People
Nice reddit meme.

Black person internet culture on /k/ is dead, it has been killed by the eternal summer and now war tourists.
they cant tell them apart from civilian airliners
The one that really gets me giggling is when their Syrian buddies shot down their own ELINT aircraft with an S-200
russian pilots with right wing and antisemitic PrepHole posts being denazified
system working as intended
Because Russians.
They hate each other.
SAM incels hate the Chad pilots because girls love only pilots.

much obliged
All of which was developed by Ukrainians and captured Nazi scientists.

Is there a place where I can learn of such accomplishments the West doesn’t want us to know?
Search genital slave z on onlyfans. Oblige me later 😉
remember when russia downed a regular commercial plane full of citizens?
