When I saw the news that ISIL had claimed responsibility but it had quickly been rebuffed by Russian officials etc I thought fair enough. But at the same time I thought 'out of the all the airliners that could fall out of the sky in the middle east, what are the odds that it was a Russian plane considering the timing of the massive Russian offensive against ISIL in Syria'. And I thought those odds are pretty dubious.

Considering that people have managed to get beheaded in Turkey etc it seems plausible that someone working for ISIL could of got a bomb on the Russian airliner, making them think it was a missile is just icing on the cake to throw them off course a bit and add a bit of extra terror on top.
I saw one report on RT that said Russia has hit more targets in their single month of bombing in Syria then the entire time the US has been bombing Syria.
