> According to Rob Lee's twitter it appears Grand Parent's deduction is correct because previously a Ukranian Su-27 that blew up in Kiev was being falsely reported as Russian jet.

It's Russian Su-27. Text is in Russian language on the plane. Ukrainian army uses Ukrainian language only for 20+ years.

Ukrainian, Russian and Belarusian use the Cyrillic alphabet and I don't trust a random burner twitter account making that claim.

Rob Lee, who has been independently reporting about Ukraine since 2014, is fairly credible and does not appear to stand to gain anything from accusations that he is pro-Russian

Ukrainians use Ukrainian alphabet and Ukrainian language. Russians are using Russian alphabet and Russian language. WTF?
