The exact cause of the crash remains unknown at this time as some Ukrainian sources claim that it was shot down, which would mark a first for the conflict. The crash comes as Russian bombers launched a series of missile strikes against Ukraine. https://theatlasnews.co/brief/2024/04/18/russian-state-media-report-russian-tu-22m3-bomber-crash/ |

Wow, the Camera man did an outstanding job on that. It certainly looks like more than your everyday mechanical failure.
Do they have an ejection capsule or seats or what? |

Big doubt on Ukraine air defense being the cause of its crash. I'm only aware of them being a long range missile truck, launching far beyond the range of a forward deployed SAM launcher.
More likely inadequate maintenance/lack of parts leading to a failure. Its interesting to see it flat spin and on fire though. |

Russian accidental shoot down. It’s *always* a Russian accidental shoot down

Hope it was taken out before it launched its fucking payload .
I hope they were alive until the end |

How's that even happen that a plane like that goes into a dead flat spiral like a frisbee?

View Quote One engine flames out, it gives the jet asymmetrical thrust which causes it to want to spin. The vertical stabs on most jets just aren't designed to 'undo' shit like that, so it's curtains for the jet most times. edit for oopsie. TU-22 doesn't have engines split far apart. |

If you did you would have said so. We appreciate such keen insight. You should take your own advice. |

Russia is a warmongering asshat who won't stop attacking and eating pieces of their neighbors: Chechen Republic of Ichkeria, Abkhazia, South Ossetia, Crimea, Donetsk, Luhansk, and then the current invasion of Ukraine. Not to mention the soft occupation of Transnistria. I absolutely get those who want to debate if we should spend our tax dollars to help Ukraine, but please don't pretend Russia is somehow not the bad guy here. They invaded, they are the aggressor, and have done this shit a lot of other times in recent history. |

To maintain the virginity of the Virgin Mary, to restore Donald Jesus Trump to the presidency, to uncover the fountain of youth and deliver the leprechaun’s pot of gold to all the poor kids in Chrichton Alabama. Why the fuck do those incompetent jackasses keep launching missiles in to apartment buildings instead of hitting legit military targets? Why don’t they get serious about winning the war that it’s so important they win? And since they won’t stop launching “hypersonic” missiles in to elementary schools… Fuck them, I hope it hurt all the way down |

Russia's invasion of UA is straight up imperialism and you wanna be edgelords getting chumped by Russian IO into trying to spin it as the brave Christian leader Putin fighting for traditional American values against the WEF Globalists is embarrassing. The WEF and Globalism is bad for America and so is Russian Imperialism and being someone else's fool like this is enabling both bad things. |

The question I have to ask is did Ukraine shoot it down?
I don't think they have the ability to shoot down a strategic bomber hundreds of miles behind the lines launching ALCMs. I also didn't know they had 220km capable modified S200s which were used to shoot down the A50 Awacs. Ol' Volodymr, you surprise me everyday. My cousin was responsible for approximately 8 Russian aircraft going down. Best mechanic the Russian airforce ever had. Quoted: Good luck on trying that angle!

Quoted: I heard they struck a rather large D.R. Horton community the other day View Quote https://apnews.com/article/russia-ukraine-war-chernihiv-missile-strike-drones-2eaf2f93ad447bce3ea2d8f9631c554b KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — Three Russian missiles slammed into a downtown area of the northern Ukrainian city of Chernihiv on Wednesday, hitting an eight-floor apartment building and killing at least 17 people, authorities said. Ukraine claims to have shot it down. I'm skeptical until I see some proof but this would be a pretty big win. https://apnews.com/article/russia-ukraine-bomber-warplane-shot-down-1aa3bc24952354c334ee617be805198a |

One less Russian strategic asset is a good thing for everyone. Doesn't much matter if it was shot down or vodka induced.

Not definitive proof BUT the GUR has generally been reliable when they make a claim. 300km for an S200 is quite the distance. |
