  1.  @tormentorxl2732  It was an AIM-9X that killed it. The AA missile exploded all right, but its destructive effect is based on a rapidly expanding ring of rods that cuts through the target. So it must've cut a huge chunk out of the balloon, deflating it instantly.

  2. ​ @kuroneko9710  I wouldn't be too sure about that. As much as I support self-determination, a disintegrating Russia is going to be a bit of nightmare. The list alone is nearly endless: Adygea, Alania, Altai, Amberland, Astrakhan, Bashkortostan, Buryatia, Chechnya, Chuvashia, Dagestan, Erzya, Ingria, Ingushetia, Kabardino-Balkaria, Kalmykia, Karachay-Cherkessia, Karelia, Khakassia, Komi, Koryakia, Mari, Mordovia, Sakha, Siberia, Ossetia, Pomoria, Tatarstan, Tuva, Udmurtia, Uralia, Yakutia... and last and perhaps even least, Muscovy.
