That’s why I included the “if the VVS were” in there. I won’t be surprised if the poorly maintained Syrian Fulcrums are now being (poorly) maintained and flown by the Russians or contractors/mercenaries.

May not be any Russian Fulcrums in Syria, but I’d say there’s a least a 29% chance that an average Turkish witness to a shoot-down wouldn’t know the difference between a Fulcrum, a Flanker or a Hornet.

I don't think the Russians have any Mig 29s in theater. If it's confirmed as a Fulcrum then it's Syrian.

He literally had a loaded gun fired point blank at his head and the primer failed. Like 1 in a million chance.

Meh. Just install this from the factory -

Conspiracy theory time:

Get over yourself

Hey, no one is perfect.

ASU is one of the top porn producing universities. Painting faces happens all the time there. Everybody gets in on it.

“I don’t see what the big deal is.”

For what it’s worth (not much) I think painting your face gold or blue or colors that aren’t black is fine
