"And one of the finest aircraft I ever flew was the Macchi C.205. Oh, beautiful. And here you had the perfect combination of italian styling and german engineering .... it really was a delight to fly ... and we did tests on it and were most impressed." - Captain Eric Brown

I suspect that Iraq is responsible.

I think it's time to ivade Georgia now :( I hate to say this, but it's a problem of national security, plain and bold... Very sad to see my country starting a war first time since 1945...

The things have gone too far.

Georgians openly state they don't mind if terrorists invade Russia from Georgian territory, because "the gangs have came from Russia". This accident shows that it's now true. Damn, British passport with Georgian visa!

Russian reconeisance already reported that Gelayev's gang crossed Russian border on Georgian army choppers! $5000 for a ride!

I bet that terrorists buy that Igla portable SAMs in Georgia. Strela/Igla were the standard batallion AA, 6 of them in every batallion.

Boroda,
 Could you tell us concisely what the heck is going on with Georgia?
 They do not hate russians much having no territory disputes, etc. They do not claim being subjugated by russian bolshevics like ukrainians do because the biggest bolshevic's leader was of georgian origin. They are christians, not muslims.

 Why do they allow insurgents to operate on their territory?
