Ukraine Military Plane Hit By Gunfire Over Pro-Russia Held Slavyansk
It would seem a red-line or two have been crossed:
- *UKRAINE MILITARY PLANE HIT BY GUNFIRE FROM REBEL TOWN: AFP
This comes on the heels of elevated tensions in the last few days since the "deal" and Biden's arrival in Kiev. Last week saw 'unidentified' fighter jets open fire on the Pro-Russian-held Kramatorsk airfield.

Ukraine: Small Arms Fire Damages Ukrainian Military Plane Over Slovyansk
Small arms fire hit and damaged a Ukrainian military surveillance plane over Slovyansk, a town held by pro-Russian militants in eastern Ukraine's Donetsk region April 22, the Ukrainian Defense Ministry said, according to a message BBC posted on Twitter.
As The Telegraph reports,
Ukrainian military aircraft hit by gunfire while on reconnaissance flight over Slavyansk, the defence ministry says
A Ukrainian military surveillance plane was hit and damaged by small arms fire as it was on a reconnaissance flight over the rebel-held eastern town of Slavyansk, the defence ministry said on Tuesday.
The plane, a propellor-driven Antonov An-30, safely made an emergency landing, a ministry spokesman told AFP. None of its crew members was hurt.
"Thanks to the professional actions, military pilots managed to land the plane at the airfield without consequences," the ministry said in a statement. "After a thorough examination and diagnosis, aircraft combat capability was fully restored."
The attack occurred just hours after US Vice President Joe Biden left Ukraine's capital at the end of a two-day visit pledging Washington's support to Kiev's fledgling leaders.

Moral: Don't fly over Pro Russian folks when they're celebrating.
All right kids! Remember to practice Duck and Cover!

And the "market" doesn't give a shit!
BULLISH
lemme guess.....#9 shotgun shell.
afterall, biden's there.
Yeah and he probably went looking for the downed plane too!
And isn't it about that time for the "market" dump to begin???
I'll bet the airplane ran out of fuel, and the Kiev Kriminals are covering for their incompetence.
If you ain't got video, it didn't happen.
The zionists pop up on time, to stir up shit.
Biden Warns Russiahttp://www.zerohedge.com/news/2014-04-22/biden-warns-russia-its-time-sto...
A reconnaissance plane's combat capability was fully restored? Am I the only one confused by that statement?
Not if it's a Kamikaze Recon (KR) aircraft...
Oh wait...
That doesn't work either now, does it??
Not exactly indicative of a superior military strategy.
The shots were probably meant to tell the Kiev gov to get lost and stay away. The truth is that the Nazis probably don't have much in the way of munitions anyway, so a show is all they can do.
This will end the same as 1956 Hungary; the Russians will eventually re-establish control because the West is not going to go MAD on itself.
Long bull droppings; short substantive actions.

As I was told yesterday, it's all bullish!
Thats good for a 200 point jump in the market today!
Why don't they just come out and say this is all about petrodollar hegemony? It'd be easier for the uninformed pukes following Hannity and Limbaugh to swallow.
imo FOX viewers would not swallow that. "the importance of keeping the world safe for US interests" is more conventional
FOX viewers don't have the mental capacity to understand anything beyond bang-bang, boom-boom.

Most people only think of themselves, all the time, 24 hours a day. They constantly remind themselves how important they are and how under appreciated they are. So you could stand in the middle of the street with a bull horn and no one would ever hear you.
6.0223 times 10 to the 23rd power +1s...that's a mole of +1s
go Avagadro...
Signed on just to give you an up arrow.
Hannity and Linbaugh are part of the reason people aren't "getting it". People stop lookiing when they get a form answer that fits the current paradigm.
And the uninformed pukes following everyone else are ready to swallow Zero's load.
GAWD YOU FUCKING SOCK-PUPPETS SUCK!!!!
As I recently mentioned, there's seemingly a mulitude of sock-puppet accounts that are 3-4 years old that ALL started posting on the 3rd of March.
And they always make the most obnoxious comments.
Tyler, it's about time for some cleanup around here. (assuming you're not farming them for ad revenue)
Edit: Hmmm... so perhaps I'm in error about some puppets, as I see nobody's comments go back before Feburary... so I take it there's been a purge perhaps?
got you beat by a year and I was an avid reader of ZH 6 months prior to my start date.
The quality of this site went downhill the day they implemented the red/green arrows. I've come to the conclusion that the United States is a comitted evil hegemon. As an American, that is a very sad statement. I'm convinced nothing short of total collapse will wake people up from the nightmare of fascism. The only obnoxious comments I hear come from the mouths of our "leaders" er puppets.
At this point, culling the herd via total collapse might be a good thing. In the long run destruction generally breeds creation. Prep today to survive tomrrow.
...got to agree that up and down arrows are corny...
Tried to explain this today and was told that I was unpatriotic! Sadly they are dumber than a bag of rocks.
Moma:
Respectfully, what makes you think the so-called, self-anointed "hi info" viewers and listeners have any idea in Hell what the phrase "petrodollar hegemony" means?
About ZH and its threads, there are low-life trolls dropping down arrows and posting typical troll trash, but at least it's at a higher level of education about these topics than what you see elsewhere.
The truth is that reading ZH is a highly educational experience - post-grad all the way. There are some very heavy hitters posting on ZH, and anyone who reads it regularly finds out that they have a reality check that you can't touch outside this site.
For example, the NYT and WaPo are nothing but slutted-out whores to the CIA propaganda machine. The more I read them, the more disgusting it gets. I wonder what these sluts tell themselves when they go home at night, knowing they spent their work day lying like a rug.
But then, they are all psychotic sociopaths by the time they make it to that level; no guilt, no shame, no conscience.
Well, at least having worked with them for decades I can get away with sending emails to my "friends" at the NYT and WaPo, calling them what they are.
There is some pleasure in being able to get through to them as a person they know - and can't really avoid . . .

i think you do a disservice to anyone that did not attain the 2, 4, or 6 year degree.
the divide between the classes is already an almost unbridgeable chasm. let us work to bridge this gap and strengthen our numbers.
Momauguin Joe: "Why don't they just come out and say this is all about petrodollar hegemony? It'd be easier for the uninformed pukes following Hannity and Limbaugh to swallow.'
Likely because the Fox audence doesn't know what a 'petrodollar' is, or what the word 'hegemony' means. Since most in the US don't read a serious book after attending h.s. or college - theyre not going to look it up either.
The real underlying reason is that Fox is just a b.s. show - like the 'lib' networks. Owned and controlled by those wiht the same globalist agenda.
Well, they are EASY to hit at ree top level.
Biden on it ????
well Biden did say today that it was time to act, didn't he?
So flying a jet low and slow is not the best war tactic?
They don't even do that shit in Alabama.

Unless you're in an A-10 Warthog doing target practice... then you do. Apparently, you can also use tractors working in the fields as the practice target.

its a tad disappointing that a 4 year veteran and a large number of 'up' arrowed folks fell for what is now the 'zh' practice of baiting-the-front-end for clicks.
:)
p.s. i think zh changed hands once again. about 6 -8 months ago, the first buyer pumped up the clicks by frothing the herds with their opium based 'news' stories, and then sold recently based upon the value of 'clique clicks'. in this case, an intentionally misleading photo on the lead-in page.
just a guess.

I have to agree.
The quality of article has definately gone downhill over time (only to be expected as corporates take over and replace expensive experienced journos with kids out of grad school)
The quality of the comments (sometimes just crap, I don't know why they bother) can be top quality, you can actually learn about facts and points of view, sometimes very well articulated, here that you wouldn't see anywhere else.
Perhaps the editors should understand that the articles are comment bait and it is they that generate ad clicks
In all likelihood the comments will be restricted to 300chrs in the future and dissent will not be tolerated.
Ah well, it was nice whilst it lasted. This is the internet, attract customers by giving them what they want or die. Free market, suckers.
Anybody got any recommendations or do I have to set up my own. (it's only $80)
Buy your gold now. Cheap tuesday and this could escalate fast.
So who was doing the shooting?
Last week saw 'unidentified' fighter pets open fire...
Apparently, kitties and puppies are behind the attack.
Brennan? We have to get that war started somewhere dammit!
Joe wanted more action and less talk. I guess he got what he wanted.
If Joe has both feet in his mouth all the time, how do he
walk ?
I love how the VIX is at 12. Obviously panic in the air /sarc
That second digit is quite significant, ya know.
these crazed russian militants should be tried for war crimes for shooting at fighter pets. Animal cruelty is something that should not be tolerated. Unless the are shooting at the fighter pets with lazer cats.
Quick, get some naked chicks from PETA for everyone to calm down!
of course now they fix the spelling error and i look like a retard.
THE TURKEY'S ARE HITTING THE GROUND LIKE SACKS OF WET CEMENT!
(who knew Turkey's couldn't fly. We'll see about the Turks of course. This is only funny if you're gonna fight and die in it.)
WKRP ?
That brings back old comedy, who's going on stage next?
Good, I hope they shoot it down. Time for a real confrontation. Asshole Biden encouraged muslim koranimals at a DC dinner with albanian filth to kill Serbs in Kosovo. Sometimes I don't even recognize the shape the US has taken.
You're kind of young for a stupid fucking sock-puppet, only 30 weeks old? I see though you got started posting on the 1st of March, rather than waiting for monday the 3rd, like most all of your peers around here.
NA, when I come across old dumb people it is apparent that they were dumb when they were young and their current state is just an amplified version.
Flying military jets at civilian protestors is not only stupid, it is criminal.
US-supported Nazi regime's days are numbered.
Nazi regime wasn't officially over till after the war. The war hasn't even started.
Indeed. For what was Libya bombed again?
and the market remained blissfully oblivious....
Why ruin a five-year old market party with facts? Party on - the Fed's got your back.
according to survivor accounts, the band played on the deck of the sinking titanic (olympic really, but that is another story) until just before the great ship broke apart and sank beneath the icy water.
Awwww, fighter pets, how cute,
I heard that Biden traveled to Kiev to see plastic surgeon there when he discovered that hair plugs were not covered under his new barrycare policy.
Too bad he got a Russian doc who transplanted pubic hair plugs to his head.
and the DOW is up 102, party on ... next on CNBS Professor Jeremy "the Insect" Siegel and his DOW 22,000 call... but first a word from our sponsors, Schwab, Scot-trade, and E-Signal
Soon it'll be time to pull out the BIG guns:
http://youtu.be/5-fgxfnLJ3g
yeah, as if any of this matters for the market anymore. No one cares. get used to it. We should care, don't get me wrong, but not only do Americans not care, the market doesn't give a shit anymore either. It's numb to this issue.
That was just Ma Biden with her double barrel full of rock salt
it was just a matter of time. these guys have been hotdogging it for the past week. NATO needs these guys. LOL
