I think I'm right in that dealig with stalls is one of the first things you learn
and cessnas are pretty groovy in dealing with them, really manoeuvrable and sturdy and low speed merchants if needed. From the altitude that dude had, he had a bunch of time and in Merka, they got much more in the way of landing possibilities
I could be wrong, it's been more than 30 years and I was shit at it, but circuits and stalls were a constant drill and in dual checks.
Yank done perfick though, ground control was very easy to work with too.
ooh, get me.

Apart from the confusion between an engine failure and an aerodynamic stall, you are correct
Both are taught early on, as the latter can easily follow the former...
Your cross-country flight training is basically one long ritual of "Check speed, check altitude, check heading, check forced landing options".
The other thing that I recall being drummed into me is the format of an emergency message i.e. "MAYDAY, MAYDAY, MAYDAY, callsign, nature of emergency, intentions, location, etc". I've seen a number of these emergency situations with US pilots and I'm always struck by how casual they are with the radio, especially under emergency conditions.
Still, top marks for getting the plane on a runway, dirty side down.

So that's definitely a Russian AV? Are we just taking social media's word at face value as long as it supports the anti Russia sentiment?
Don't get me wrong. I'm absolutely on Ukraine's side. But the amount of disinformation on Social Media is overwhelming. What evidence is there to support that the tank is Russian?
To me, it appears as if the vehicle lost control and collided inadvertently with the car coming the other direction. Isn't it just as likely that this was a Ukrainian patrol vehicle? Where's the rest of the convoy?
Who confirmed that the soldiers were wearing 'stolen Ukrainian uniforms?' Did somebody wave down the vehicle afterwards and politely ask them to wind down the window? Sounds fucking fishy to me.

there's plenty to be skeptical about if you mainly look at pro-russian sources and the kind of trumpist circlejerk subreddits that seem to have oddly aligned themselves with vlad
Are russia even in the ukraine? I've heard they're attacking themselves
it's ok to be skeptical, but that cuts both ways. Like antivaxxers, skepticism shouldn't mean you turn to even worse sources, in your case some anonymous youtube commenter.
It took me just 10 seconds while I sipped my coffee to find multiple good sources (there's a surprising amount of websites, both russian and english, devoted to reporting on the arms trade) showing that russia was the biggest user of mt-lb (which they build) with the strela missiles setup. they have 100 in service with 350 in production as of 2021.

There's another angle in this video, which seems to provide a lot more context.
Still not crystal clear exactly who is who. From what I can tell in from the comments, the convoy was Ukrainian and ambushed by Russian troops.
The lack of identifying markings on the vehicles suggests to me that they are indeed Ukrainian (plus, I think it's far more likely that the Ukrainians would be operating Anti-Air vehicles in that location as opposed to Russians, particularly considering Russia have massive air superiority).
Either way, from this angle and looking at the surrounding activity, it looks unlikely (to me, at least), that the elderly gentleman was deliberately targeted, and more likely that he was just in the wrong place at the wrong time.

I read this post this morning and was very sceptical.
See, I'd spent a few minutes speeding through all his albums on youtube the night before, essentially confirming that Koto had no gift for music, and in fact murders every tune he comes into contact with.
But Return of the Dragon is by far his best work yet. It's as if he's been on a course and learned some music theory.
It's still bollocks, obviously, but RotD is like a pro musician's album rather than something recorded in the afternoon to sell to the old folks on the cruise ship or Women's Institute gig.
