There was an AN-72 on flight radar earlier over Luhansk... surprised they didn't get that one as well

Great chance to capitalise as the world is focusing on Iran. But Russia keeps on dropping the ball. They also lost an An 26 and a Su34 within the last week it seems.

They're doing great work with what little we're providing them. I hope Europe picks up the slack that America drops in Trumps tantrum.

For real dude, instead of just going off the headline, read the article before asking questions. From the article: “The strike destroyed a* Russian* An-72P patrol aircraft and a site used to prepare Orion strike and reconnaissance drones for missions, according to the statement.” Even the subtitle to the picture at the top of the article is: "A Russian An-72 military transport plane."

Yeah for real dude. Although I'm not a dude and not intelligent when it comes to different military aircraft. I guess I should of the article smart ass. Thats a long ass comment just to hate on someone.
