- An Azerbaijan Airlines flight crashed after sustaining damage over Russia, killing 38.
- The plane was likely hit by Russian air defense before the crash, BI reported Thursday.
- Several airlines, including Azerbaijan Airlines, El Al, Flydubai, and Qazaq Air, are canceling flights to Russia, citing passenger safety and risks.
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.
