Flying at 2,000 feet is a funny choice ... unless they were on a visual bombing run.

Todays weapons are lauched far away from a visual contact ...

All that leaves is a desire to cause an international snafu to embarass the enemy.

The Russians are getting oil rich funny ... returning to the, "we are better than you are", cold war days.

It keeps Putin in power to make his fellow countrymen think that he is doing something to justify his plan to increase their aging military machine.
