Russian or not - the fighter bomber?

Some time ago Georgians accused Russia for their airplane to have entered deep in the Georgian air space and dropping a missile near a village. Fortunately the missile did not go off.

Russia strongly declined all such accusations, and suggested that Georgians had done it all by themselves to falsely accuse Russia.

International inspectors have now done some inspecting:
- Georgians have no fighter bombers strong enough to carry such missiles.
- A Russian fighter bomber has been noticed to enter Georgian air space three times during the day of the incident.

What is Russia's reaction?
They accuse the international inspectors of doing politics.

It all reminds me of the Russian airplanes entering Finnish air space. Russia kept refusing such accusations, even though radar recordings were quite clear. Finally it was agreed that the pilots had erroneously gotten off their routes. Professional Russian military pilots.

Thank God they did not mistakenly happen to launch any missiles...
