Probably, Russian propagandists were given the command to downplay the importance of the shooting of the pilot.

Tu-95 bomber pilot Oleg Stegachev, who was shot in Russia, was among the Russian pilots who bombed civilians in Syria, the international intelligence community InformNapalm reports .

“If the hunt by the special services for Russian war criminals has begun, it will certainly continue,” the investigators state.

It is noted that since 2015, InformNapalm has been presenting data from Russian pilots who actually trained in Syria to kill civilians and bomb civilian infrastructure.

“Even then we wrote that this was their preparation for Ukraine and they needed to start being destroyed, but translations into Arabic did not produce significant results. The Syrians were unable to avenge their relatives. Although the Russians were at first afraid of revenge, they then relaxed. Almost two “Russian aviation is also involved in shelling of Ukraine, launching deadly missiles at civilian targets. For almost two years they were not afraid that they would be attacked in the rear, but everything is changing. They are starting to be harassed. Because it is easier to kill the pilot than to wait for him to launch missiles “, the message says.

Later the community added that this is a very simple and logical formula that needs to be scaled:

“It is cheaper to hire a killer who will eliminate a highly specialized specialist than to try to shoot down missiles already in the air… The very fact of such a hunt and periodic news of success will become a reason for other pilots to refuse to carry out criminal orders or to look for ways to escape with the planes towards Ukraine… “.

In addition, it is indicated that in 2015, information about the lists of Russian pilots who bombed Syria was published even in Bild and Al Arabia: “But then the situation in the world was different, and the Russian army was still feared. Now, using the example of the actions of the Ukrainian special services in the game with “The Syrians may also join the hunt for Russian pilots. The main thing is to set an example.”

It is also noted that, probably, Russian propagandists were given the command to “put out the flames”, to downplay the importance of the shooting of the pilot, “to keep the other pilots from panicking” that the Ukrainian special services had begun hunting them.
