Nutty, that is an officially classified document, albeit Restricted. People can, and have, got into trouble for distributing that material outside proper channels, even second hand..

The pics are on Twitter, I posted it because I didn’t think it was genuine. Hence I wondered if it was a fake to fool the Russians to relocate defences to protect against a threat that did not exist.

The cynic in me thinks that, in view of the Russian leadership's attitude to Russian lives, they want Ukraine to shoot down one of their civilian aircraft so that they (Russia) can cry foul and drive world opinion against Ukraine. I hope the UAF won't fall for that.

Without a shadow of a doubt.
Pity the poor civvy crews forced to fly that route.

Is there any actual evidence that a Russian civilian aircraft flew through (or close to) Ukrainian airspace? I'm very sceptical.

FlightDetent seemed to be suggesting the possibility of false flag by Ukraine.

Now I do not know if this is correct, but it is rumoured ATACMS listed in the latest aid, that’s 190 mile range.

U.S. officials said they could confirm that the New York Times reporting was accurate and that additional Russian purchases of North Korean military equipment were expected.
"The Russian Ministry of Defense is in the process of purchasing millions of rockets and artillery shells from North Korea for use on the battlefield in Ukraine," an official said by email when asked about the paper's report.
The official said the purchases indicated that the Russian military "continues to suffer from severe supply shortages in Ukraine, due in part to export controls and sanctions."

Oh! Look, a Russian ship mysteriously sunk just after leaving a North Korean port?

Can't see them using ships, most likely load them onto trains and take them across the rail bridge Russia-NK border crossing over the Tuman River.

Actually, you may have a point. Checking FR I have noticed the odd flight heading south as if going to overfly eastern Ukraine and then suddenly jump to the now usual route well east of that. I'm no FR expert but it may have something to do with predicted flightpath. Maybe DR can help us with that.
