    Sadly not unless it was a Euro or U.S. Plane.

    Russia has like 2 aircraft carriers, China has one that is very old and was supposed to be a casino, NC (LOL). The US has around 17 I believe, and if you're not going to shoot nukes, these are things that you need to fight a real war across the globe. Russia and China have been panicking seeing us "friend" so many Asian nations that are allowing more US bases in their countries and almost the entire Middle East is at war...

    End of days. Max out the credit cards and hoard liquor and weed.

    It was flying out of Amsterdam to Kuala Lumpur. What a tragedy.

    Two planes have already been shot down THIS week - this is going to get very ugly.

    THis is crazy. Absolutely deplorable.

    Anyone have a link to minute by minute updates?

    Rather follow this than wait to hear the next big free agent acquisition.

    I'm not very sold on the info on China's armaments. First, it is very secretive and second, its media is state-run (so there goes the freedom of the press). Any info shared with the world is supposedly filtered.
