| #2 Russia supplies surface-to-air missiles to Iranians to shoot down US helicopters in Iraq. A few of them find their way back to Chechnya, and are used against Russian aircraft. Russia suffers a military aircraft loss. I do feel sympathy for those that died, but the Russian government can FOAD. |
