when I refer to starboard side of the Boeing thats from a meeting point perspective - ie head on
from the onboard plane perspective for the Boeing itself, then its the port side, ie the left
note the altitude of the "su-27"
compare length of su-27 to a Boeing 777 (its about a third)
if you extrapolate the physical length of the supposed su-27 with the boeing 777 you can start to establish the altitude difference.
note that the initial claims 3 months ago were that the attacking jet was a Su24, then it was an Su-25 - that was pilloried as nonsensical and it then became an su27 to fit the narrative
now it varies between a Mig29 and an Su27.
if its a mig29 then the weapons options are even more limited
meanwhile a Buk mobile launcher missing one of its missiles is still an issue that gets ignored
plus, a satellite image showing missile release at that kind of resolution?
and finally, the passenger jet shown is more likely a 767 - not a 777 - so nice bit of photo shopping of multiple map overlays and multiple image insertion(not)
so good luck believing the image is kosher....
finally, this initially was IP traced back to russian forums early october - it never came from the US
