    Not really. Just tragic. It would be poignant if the black box revealed they were singing O Holy Night in their last moments. RIP.

    Just another example of Putin's hubris.

    In reality, the Russian military is just a barely held together selection of Soviet era sh1tbox hardware; their one functioning aircraft carrier is a crate that needs an ocean going tugboat to travel alongside, they regularly loose fighter aircraft and have to lay-up submarines.

    This particular plane type, the Tu-154, has an appalling record, they should all have been grounded donkeys years ago but Russian symbolic pride prevented it.

    RIP to those lost.

    Like any other day of the year, tragedy doesn't take time out.
    Awful for their family and friends.

    It is any other day of the year in Russia -
    Orthodox Christmas is in January.

    Their version of "It's a long way to Tipperary" was used in Das Boot :(
