That’s not the point, though.

Don’t fly a commercial passenger jet over an active known war zone. Then you don’t even really have to think about whether the separatists below you know whether your signature looks like a fighter jet or not lol.

Never leave your safety to the vagaries of Russian incompetence or malice, surely.

Russia is active war zone. Russians are flying commercial passenger jets over active war zone and then shooting them. Embraer E190 was the latest victim of Russians. Russia is the problem.

I never said Russia isn’t the problem. But intentionally flying your 777 over an active war zone is asinine regardless, is it not?

Yep, Russians does that intentionally, while Malaysian and other airlines are just following rules and air corridors.
