    By order of Russian MoD, we are tired of not being believed when we say friendly fire downed our planes. Therefore, if you launch AA rockets at target you must video it and upload it to internet so we can prove to decadent and ineffectual west we shot ours down.

    How can he be a week or two late when the plane came down less than a day ago?
    You seem to be referring to the A50 that was shot down in mid-January (and an Il-22 damaged).
    This is a second one that has come down and rumors are still swirling.
    Talking about missing basic things...

    I do wonder how much impact the Ukrainian drone offensive on Russian soil has led to Russian AA jitteriness. How you could misidentify an A50 for a drone or missile though is anyone's guess, so what would these guys have thought they were actually firing at?

    This is the best article on the A-50 situation I saw (it was written after the mid-January downing of one) - https://breakingdefense.com/2024/01/after-historic-shoot-down-why-russia-will-struggle-to-replace-its-a-50-aewc-plane/
    According to it, the loss of the specialist personnel could be as significant as the loss of the plane.

    Yes, that one, where they link to Ukrainian Pravda, which says "on February 23, Ukrainian defense forces shot down a Russian A-50 long-range radar detection aircraft" - February 23, not a week or two ago.

    In British English you might call it a "cock up" (ruin something as a result of incompetence or inefficiency) but it includes a dose of British understatement so perhaps doesn't capture the magnitude of the Russian word - "massive cock up" might rectify that.

    With regard to being open about Russian methods, a series of billboards in Tallinn reminds people about Russkiy Mir in a dramatic, creative and in-your-face way.
