Putin said it was possible that a French missile shot down the Il-76 transport plane. According to a number of ** reports such as the global network, the incident of the downing of the Il-76 transport plane is still attracting widespread attention and is full of suspicions. There is a lot of evidence that it will take some time to draw conclusions about the incident.
The Ukrainian side recently claimed that only 5 bodies were found in the downed wreckage, which is quite different from the 65 Ukrainian prisoners of war and the total crew of 74 people claimed by the Russian side. The Russian side issued a prisoner of war boarding**, showing vehicles and people approaching the transport plane and people boarding. However, due to the blurry picture, it was not possible to clearly show whether the aircraft number was consistent with the downed aircraft, and the shooting time was not clear. According to the Ukrainian side, it is not possible to determine at the moment whether it is the missiles or the personnel who are being transported. The Ukrainian military declared that it would continue to launch attacks on Russian transport platforms, in particular, on transport aircraft carrying ammunition and various supplies. As can be seen from this paragraph, there is a great deal of controversy on the Ukrainian side about the causes and responsibility for the incident, while the Russian side is trying to prove its innocence through evidence such as **.
Putin also recently summed up the rumors, saying that it was unlikely that a Russian missile hit the plane, and that it was more likely a European missile, especially a French missile. Behind this statement, France has supplied Ukraine with Aster-30 series missiles with a range of about 100 kilometers from Kharkiv to Belgorod, where it was shot down, and even improved models have a range of up to 150 kilometers. According to the analysis, this missile can strike in the airspace where the Il-76 is located, and the range is comparable to that of the American "Patriot" and Iris-T.
In addition, Putin mentioned the possibility of French missiles, suggesting that the Ukrainian side may react accordingly. He noted that despite the fact that Western countries have supplied Ukraine with large quantities of **, this equipment does not pose a real threat to the Russian army, but leads to an attack on aircraft carrying Russian prisoners of war.
In the fermentation of the incident, all kinds of evidence are still surfacing. Although Putin ** expressed for the first time that the phenomenon of accidental attacks could not happen, the use of the West in the Russian-Ukrainian conflict has significantly decreased, not only in actual combat, but even Russian infrastructure has been attacked. Ukraine's strategic goals and motivations remain a big question mark. Overall, the incident has been "politicized" by both sides, creating a number of doubts that require further observation. This incident is a completely man-made tragedy, which not only caused innocent people**, but also exacerbated tensions between Russia and Ukraine. It is hoped that the two sides will find the truth as soon as possible through dialogue and consultation and avoid further conflict and violence.
