Any proofs? Everywhere articles says that accident was during joint exercise.

They were 'joint' because the Ukraine used a test range in Crimea that belongs to Russian Black Sea fleet based in Sevastopol. All launches were authorized by Ukrainians, Russians fired a single short-range missile and that's it. But, yeah, let's call it joint Russian-Ukrainian to shift the blame towards Russians.

No, I mentioned it because a joint Russian-Ukrainian exercise is unthinkable now.

My apologies then.

Russian generals, Russian troops taking participation in exercise. Russians firing a rocket. Exercise located at Russian shooting range.

And yet you wrote it was not a joint exercise. Russia Today can be proud of you, comrade!

Was the Iraq war a joint war of the US and Ukraine against Iraq? [0] If you say it was, then okay, the exercise was joint too.
