The Ukrainian air ministry issued a warning about their airspace as early at July 8th. Our FAA warned about the same region as well.
Two transport aircraft flying at altitudes higher than those that shoulder-launched AA missiles can reach were shot down over eastern Ukraine before today. People with half a brain or a heart could have put 2+2 together.
Yep. Let’s fly over a war zone where long-range missiles are used to shoot down aircraft. Very smart.
