Fallacies
(70%)
The article contains several fallacies. Firstly, the author uses an appeal to authority by stating that Russia's aviation capabilities have suffered a blow due to the crash of another military aircraft and news that a plant in Moscow makes Sukhoi fighter jets was on fire. However, there is no evidence provided to support this claim. Secondly, the article contains inflammatory rhetoric when it states that Ukraine's defense forces downed an A-50U long-range radar detection aircraft near the Sea of Azov using a Soviet S-200 anti-aircraft system and accuses Russia's military of systemic issues. Thirdly, there is a dichotomous depiction when it states that Ukraine has lost 340 jets since the start of the war while Moscow has struck 103 settlements and 79 infrastructure facilities in 10 regions between Friday and Saturday. This creates an either/or situation where one side is portrayed as good and the other as bad, which is not accurate.
