Russians Planned Explosions on Planes Flying to the USA from Europe
(militarnyi.com)
This is already quite old news.
It's not clear that the Russians planning this operation understood that a very hefty part of air cargo is transported on common passenger flights, whenever there's extra capacity left after the passengers and their luggage have been loaded.
Of course Putin is very often very disconnected from the reality, but it feels unlikely he'd think anything positive to the Russia would come out of bombing several civilian airplanes above the Atlantic. It is much more likely that they were planning to "only" bomb cargo planes. An article I read about this some months ago claimed that the Biden administration had phoned Kremlin, saying that "dudes, you're very likely to end up hitting a passenger plane. You need to abort that mission immediately!"
But yeah, there are these kind of terror attacks taking place all the time. We should understand that they are centrally coördinated, intentional and very planned.
