Discussions about possible presence of Russian air defense systems were sparked by Azerbaijan Airlines’ on Friday revelation that the initial research into the 38-person crash of its plane in Kazakhstan was likely to be the result of “external interference of a physical and technical nature.”
Additionally, the airline has suspended operations at 10 Russian airports, stating that their determination was “based on the initial findings of the investigation into the collapse of the Embraer 190 plane operating the Baku-Grozny flight J2-8243 of Azerbaijan Airlines due to physical and technological outside interference.”
This comes before, Russia, earlier in the day, put the blame on Ukraine, claiming that Ukrainian drones were attacking the city of Grozny as the Azerbaijani Airlines plane attempted to land, before its successive collapse in Kazakhstan. The aircraft made two ineffective landing efforts, according to Dmitry Yadrov, head of Russia’s civil aviation authority. At the time, Ukrainian military drones were staging terrorist strikes on civilian system. ” The captain was offered other terminals. He took the decision to go to Aktau aircraft” in Kazakhstan, he said.
Even read:” When an Azerbaijani flight attempted to land, the Russian army was carrying out criminal problems,” asserts Russia.
Nevertheless, Ukraine has attributed the blame to Russia and said that” Russia may be held accountable for the parliament of the Azerbaijan Airlines plane.”
The Azerbaijan Airlines plane crashed in eastern Kazakhstan, resulting in the death of 38 amongst the 67 inhabitants. According to several media sources, Azerbaijani officials claimed that Russian air defense missiles may have caused the incident.
