Russian 'doomsday' plane's radio equipment stolen by thieves

South of Rostov is in close enough proximity to Ukraine to make one wonder if they might have been involved. If so, this is a REALLY big deal.

The article mentioned that the particular aircraft was in a maintenance evolution when the theft occurred. Perfect time for thievery-- when the aircraft is usually in pieces being inspected and/or repaired. If you've ever been part of, or seen a CH-47 400 hour phase maintenance, you know what I'm talking about.

The headline makes it seem like some guys just walked onto a secure military facility that houses Russia's most secret aircraft, broke into said aircraft, and walked off with critical/classified tech. I know media lives and dies on drama, but come on...

Hooray for the bad guys? They’re both commies.
