Semiconductors being what they are, I don't see how a grassroots movement can drive adoption of something that essentially nobody's making. Are there credible RISC-V based replacements for the Raspberry Pi, the STM32 blue/bla

Depends on the version. Newer models double that range, but either way 30000ft is only about 10 km, so if you control Rosaviatsiya you can just instruct ATC to send the aircraft over a particular area where you've pre-positioned your

The altitude was trivially in range of Pantsir systems, of which Russia has many. The Pantsir-fired missiles are fragmentation weapons that basically shoot out metal rods like a hand grenade, and take the target down by catastrophically da

There's footage of a crashing aircraft circulating on Twitter and reddit[0], purportedly of this particular aircraft, and in one of the clips a plume from a missile can be seen. The aircraft depicted is clearly missing some of the ver
