While the dust from this weekend's Russian fiasco will take some time to settle, I'm really curious to see how it'll play out in Beijing.

The Il-22M has four engines and that one only appears to have two. Did it shed the outboards early in the spin or is it misidentified?

There were stories about an AN-26 being downed. I don't know if that was in addition to the IL-22, or was a case of faulty identification
