The image of the pensioner holding a “rifle” is a wrong. Based on my experience in handling sports long guns, what he is holding is a shotgun. That is not a rifle. It doesn’t shoot bullets, bur rather shot (“bird” or “buck” depending on the gauge. Whatever gauge the lethal range of these weapons are well under 100 m and at any range they do not have projectiles that can begin to penetrate metal plate or even 1 mm metal sheet. Shooting down a military aircraft?? Utterly impossible.
What the man is holding is probably a 12 gauge semi-automatic shotgun which probably has a capacity of 5 shells/rounds. It can be loaded with rifled slugs, which are a single projectile of 1 oz. of lead with a muzzle velocity of 1300 ft. / second. Question: Can 5 shots fired in quick succession bring down a low flying plane? I’m not sure it is impossible.
What the EU/UK/US are probably hoping for is that there is an explosion, due to non- maintenance of NS1 equipment, so they can blame it on Russia. Think about the environment and the gas explosions in residents’ buildings, usually because of poor maintenance, gas leaks etc. The evil West could then say it was done on purpose by the Russians in order to cut off gas completely supplies completely.

Nobody really mentions the obscene profits the electricity companies in the UK are making so that they can give their shareholders huge dividends.
