Like Malaysia Airlines MH17 and Korean Air Lines 007, seems Azerbaijan Airlines J2-8243 may have been shot down. #russia just can’t stop hurting people.

Azerbaijan Airlines plane crashes in Kazakhstan. At least 30 likely killed
An Azerbaijani airliner with 67 people onboard has crashed near the Kazakhstani city of Aktau and an official says 38 people were killed and 29 survived. The Embraer 190 was en route from the Azerbaijani capital of Baku to the Russian city of Grozny in the North Caucasus when it was diverted and attempted an emergency landing near the city of Aktau. Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev said that it was too soon to speculate on the reasons behind the crash, but said that the weather had forced the…

One obvious reason this could be the case, despite the stimulus impact of the war, is that a lot of dotcoms / tech companies are highly sensitive to the stock market, VC funding, etc.

And so, huge swathes of high tech are at risk of debt spirals and ever-increasing rates on loans.

About those massive Russian losses of equipment near Kursk... looks like Ukraine released video of it.
Considering that Russia only has about 5-2 odds on that front, well... I don't think things are going all that well. Whatever gains they are making are just too expensive.

They're even facing high incidences of non-payment by their clients!
