I bet you could not tell the difference between a civilian plane and a military plane flying at 30,000 feet over a war zone either.
I could. The civilian plane would have a radar transponder that said "Hi, I am Malaysia Airlines Flight MH17".
And an IFF on mode 3. And flying much higher than the military plane.
We all forgot that, perhaps because it is not true? I seem to recall a murderous kleptomaniac thug being evicted from power on the strength of popular protest.
Hy ! Be fair with the OP, from all what we know from Putin's bloody politics and underhanded tactic "murderous kleptomaniac thug" and "elected pro-russian government" could very well be identical in the average Russian mind
I've noticed several design suggestions in your code.
