And we all know how the denizens of Worker's Paradise are encouraged to freely share their views on UAE lies and corruption, right?

Somehow I don't find your argument convincing.

Did the Qataris pass a couple of thousand feet below EK837 outbound from Doha, show up on BAH radar unannounced and cause an alert on ATC radar and perhaps a TCAS RA? And a few minutes later pass behind EY371? Were these the 'intercepts'?

Or, were there never any Qatari jets in the area at all as some claim?

Maybe someone with secret access to 'the tapes' can tell us the details.
