Getting your military aircraft shot down by air defenses won't make you like a victim. That never works, as it always implies that you had chosen to send them in. In addition, air defenses always get the moral bonus because military aircraft remind people of civilians being bombed. Nevertheless, Georgia is making itself look like upsetting the status quo.
