The fact that they play this off as their own blunder just makes it all seem even worse.
Can't see any reason why the Pentagon would cover for them https://thehill.com/policy/defense/3267543-pentagon-russian-warship-still-on-fire-cant-confirm-cause/

So youre saying the Pentagon is lying? That wouldnt surprise me.
