It seems like maybe Russians shot down Azerbaijan Airlines Flight 8243 (actual footage taken by passengers shows shrapnel damage?)

that does look super sus

it's not just shrapnel in one direction but an expanding one with more holes centred in the middle from multiple angles, almost like a sphere :marseyhmm:

I'm an r-slur but it looks like textbook anti-air missile damage, no? :marseyhmm:

I remember reading the NYTimes investigation into the Ukraine one Russia did and apparently some Soviet anti-air uses "Bow-tie" shaped shrapnel because it does more damage to aircraft than circles or blocks. And the holes kinda look like it.

The only reason I'm a bit suspicious is that the Russians have decades of experience and some of the finest systems for shooting down airliners. Compared to the usual this one is sloppy.
