    pretty sure it won’t be an emirates flight getting shot. The UAE are pretty strong supporters of Russia.

    Conversely, Azerbaijan is rather friendly with Ukraine.

      If they were going to deliberately target passenger airliners they wouldnt do it over their own soil. This is a major embarrassment that reflects poorly on the quality of their equipment and personnel.
