Hold up. Downed a plane is different from grounded a plane. I don't know the Belarusian case, but either you misused the word or they are very different.

- alternatetwo 5y agoThey forced the plane to land in Belarus by threatening it with fighter jets while it was nearly out of their airspace. IIRC they pretended there was a bomb threat or some other nonsense.
- hoseja 5y ago"Downed" is usually understood as "shot down".
