Russia 'shot down its own planes'

A report in a Russian military journal claims that half the planes Russia lost in its war with Georgia last year were shot down by friendly fire.

...

"But the losses sustained by the Russian side in just five days have led analysts here to question how Russian troops would fare against a bigger, better-equipped and better-trained enemy."

Doubtful, if it's in a Russian magazine, that it's Georgian propaganda. Russia's military is incompetent enough, I think, to shoot down it's own planes.
