Though to be fair if the Ukrainians shot this jet down, I wouldn't expect the media to credibly report on that... sadly.
It was over Grozny when it happened. What Ukrainian weapons systems could have shot it down?
The damage is completely wrong for a bird strike. The pilots might have confused the feeling and sound for a bird strike, but there's no way this damage was from a bird strike. And there were holes and damage already showing in flight before they got to Kazakhstan.
Logic is dead. Long live BS.
