If Ukrainian troops, even a handful of them are that far into Russia, they're not going to be going after an Azerbaijani E190. They're going to be wreaking havoc on Russian supply dumps and targets. And if they're that deep into Russia, then Russia is utterly screwed as far as the war goes.
Valid points. Terrorism doesn't need to make sense though, it only needs to make the public nervous and scared. Going after the public is why they are often times targeted. Taking out a seemingly plane full of innocent passengers makes for a great target. Hitting the jet inside Russians boarder tells a narrative that Russian citizens and they allies are not safe anywhere.
This theory of the downing of E190 is just an idea I have based on my personal experience in the Marines.
You have more experience in a plane than I do, so could a mechanical failure have done this to the jet?
