At first I was very upset with this news. I thought this over and I now see that this is = Bad news that Russia is making money selling it's Tupolev passenger jets , yet the good news is they are prone to crashing and that means we get two good bits of good news : crashed Russian built planes and dead Iranians Muslim fundamentalists. Life can be good!!!!!Q!

Its hard to criticize Russia when we just agreed to sell 20 Billion more in military tech to Saudi Arabia.

'Cause long range missiles are just too darn expensive! It's SO much easier to cram a bunch of explosives onto a junker plane, and "charter a flight" to Israel, or somewhere like that.

Not to say that's what their purpose is, but that's the first thing I thought of when I heard about this.

huh !!! I can criticize Russia for breathing and I just may before the night is over.

seriously any panky panky betwee the Bolshevicks and the Isamist Extrfemists of Iran is suspect.

I don't think that is the issue becasue the Iraniacks can purchase aircraft from the EU if they wanted. The problem here is that the evil empire is getting money from the evil little extremist Islamists who hate us. So both eveils camps are getting something that they want.

Why would anyone be upset at this news.

Iranians want to fly, Russians have planes, it makes sense to trade. Its not like these passenger planes are going to start dropping nukes on Israel.
