  1. The most obvious is the usual: They managed to hit that Il-22, thought they shot it down and then just used their usual multiplier and took the most expensive plane they could find. Not really the first time they did it, question is how often people want to fall for it?

  2. If that was the case, it was extremely stupid. That guy got ZERO chance for that. Media loved to point the camera at him, but that's it. All his BS talk was one thing when it was useful for deception on the battlefield, but someone like this in an actual leading position? Nope.

  3. 40 were build, they only use a fraction of it, so the got 2 dozens+ in reserve if needed and while they sell for a lot of money, that's because the design is the most expensive part, not actually building it. And the whole thing was fake anyway. They couldn't even down the bomber that flew close to the frontline. The idea that they could down an A-50 200+km away from that frontline is pretty absurd.

  4. No, it can't. You can't buy soldiers like that and most of that money must meanwhile be used to to just pay orderinary bills. Any civiilian you force into uniform will also just die quickly, because modern warfare is nothing you can just throw people in, even for trained soldiers it's horror. There was an Ukrainian talkshow where a soldier from the southern region talked about the absurdity, that they got new recruits, pretty much just instantly sent from the street to them with zero training an new clue and the commander got over 350 killed in just eight hours. It's a disgusting mess - what is sadly no surprise. Russia meanwhile adapted more and more tot the "tricks" NATO sent in and used most success you see are more by ugly surprise than actual skill, like randomy hitting worthless ships for example with zero military impact. Wasting the few and expensive missiles for pointless targets is for sure a surprise, but to use the same trick again will work less and less.
