Isn’t this a very small part of Turkey that they crossed, like a few kilometres or so? It looks like the jet wasn’t in Turkisch airspace for more than a few seconds if that’s true. Not that I know anything about jets or airspace rules or anything.. Just wondering.

Equipment sometimes fails!

The Red Army certainly committed atrocities as they marched towards and into Berlin, but you need to take a hard look at conditions on the ground and what these troops had been through.

Geosynchronous spy satellites? Yes there is several. But they are not good with the small objects such as trains. Geosynchronous orbit is 35 786 km away from the ground – it's pretty far for optical surveillance. Orion and Magnum not optical satellites, they are SIGINT satellites - for intercept radio signals.

5, total. Less than that Challenger explosion.

Not to mention that they are so far the only country to have successfully landed and returned pictures / data from the surface of Venus.

The TU-144 flew a LOT more than 15 times.
