However I am afraid Russia will still pressure people on this issue to cover up. Kazakh officials already arrested a blogger who filmed plane crash for example, what was the reason for arresting him though?

I got a reply for my question:

"You don't understand. Sarsenov was reportedly at the crash scene and, despite the area being cordoned off by authorities, used a drone and a mobile phone to capture footage. You cannot allow unofficial personnel or civilians to crowd the space of a crash, Russia would use this to send 95 randoms with drones to fly around it for 3 months until the wreck was taken over by slavic squatters."

I mean, they're currently invading a country, I don't think they care about the public opinion on gunning down a commercial airplane.

But maybe countries that are currently neutral on Russia will now start to avoid airspace controlled by Russia. Particularly Turkish Airlines, if they were to now avoid flying in Russian airspace, it would be a serious barrier for Russians access to Europe.

All Western countries have long avoided airspace over Russia .... This literally was one of their former republics...and you would expect Russian military to recognize a sizeable commercial jetliner flying s pre.planmed route as a non threat, especially when you could communicate with it. Last time I checked enemy drones aren't very good at ATC conversations.
