Evidence grows Russia air defense downed Azerbaijan Airlines jet
ai generated text
The Azerbaijan Airlines jet, Flight J2-8243, an Embraer passenger jet, crashed on Wednesday while attempting to land in Kazakhstan after flying from Baku to Grozny, Russia's southern Chechnya region. Various reports suggest that the plane may have been shot down by a Russian surface-to-air missile, with some sources indicating that the plane was attacked by a Pantsir missile system while in Russian airspace. This is contradicted by Russian authorities, who have warned against speculation and hypotheses on the causes of the crash.
Those who did this must face criminal charges.
If air defence is being used, then the airport must be closed and an alert issued, so that nobody flies in.
There are various theories, but I believe it is premature to discuss them.
This is a great tragedy that has become a tremendous sorrow for the Azerbaijani people.
The information provided to me is that the plane changed its course between Baku and Grozny due to worsening weather conditions and headed to Aktau airport, where it crashed upon landing.
We call on Russia to allow for an open and transparent investigation into the incident and to accept its findings.
They will conduct the work, and then it will be clear.
Real experts are looking at all this and they will make their conclusions. Neither Kazakhstan, nor Russia, nor Azerbaijan, of course, are interested in hiding information, it will be brought to the public.
Preliminary findings suggest a collision with birds caused an emergency situation on board, prompting the pilot to divert to an alternate airfield. Aktau was selected.
It would be wrong to hypothesize before the conclusions of the investigation are available.
It would be wrong to put forward any hypotheses before the investigation's conclusions. We, of course, will not do this, and no-one should do this. We need to wait until the investigation is completed.
Ukrainian attack drones at this time were making terrorist attacks on civilian infrastructure in the cities of Grozny and Vladikavkaz.
