Yes I have been on Russian cargo planes, yes I know what they were and are, Indeed I suggested when it was impounded it should be handed over to Antonov in reparations to the one they have which was severely damaged by Russia.
The fact is they could have simply refused to let it enter Canadian airspace, by allowing it they broke their own sanctions simply to get the cargo, as to what they are doing now, well, from what I have read Russia has given them a massive bailout to stop them going bust, they operate a lot of western aircraft too, they will also be having problems with spares for the AN124's as they are built in Ukraine who I somehow think will not be supporting them, and they damaged the factory's etc
The rest of your post, sorry I won't bother with as it is just drivel.
