These are middle eastern regional airlines. The "warzone" is their origin and destination, no need to talk about re-routing or stop over-flying. What can they do? Those pilots that need to do this job every day are definitely very brave! 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the soldier see wrongly, jialat liao. I thought the problem is mainly due to supplying these advanced russian weapon systems to "peasant" grade arab armies. Everything set to auto mode. Just press big red button to launch. Edited February 8, 2020 by Sosaria 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
