Azerbaijan President Ilham Aliyev says that before the plane crash in Kazakhstan on December 25, it was fired upon in Grozny, Russia. According to news agency Reuters, on Sunday, the President of Azerbaijan accused Moscow of hiding the real reason for the plane crash. He has demanded Russia to accept its mistake. According to Azerbaijan’s state television, President Aliyev said – We regret that some circles in Russia spread false stories about the crash. They have tried to suppress the truth of this accident. Ilham Aliyev further said that Russia fabricated such theories about it, which clearly shows that it wanted to suppress the issue. A country that is considered a friend in Azerbaijan should have admitted its mistake, apologized and informed the people about it. These are all the steps that should have been taken. Let us tell you that on Christmas Day, Azerbaijan Airlines’ plane Embraer 190 crashed. There were 67 people on board this plane, out of which 38 died. This plane was going from Baku, the capital of Azerbaijan, to Grozny in Russia, but it was diverted towards Aktau in Kazakhstan. Where it crashed. Putin had apologized a day earlier
Earlier on Saturday, i.e. a day earlier, Russian President Vladimir Putin apologized for the Azerbaijan plane crash. Putin told the President of Azerbaijan that he is sorry that the accident happened in their airspace. However, Russia did not say that the plane crashed due to the firing of their air defense system. Yesterday the Kremlin (Russian President’s Office) said – The Azerbaijani plane reached Grozny on time. It repeatedly tried to land at the airport. At the same time, Ukrainian drones were attacking in the airspace of Grozny, Mozdok and Vladikavkaz. The Russian air defense system was stopping them. Therefore, it should be stopped saying that the plane was targeted by the Russian air defense system. Why was Russia accused of crashing the plane?
Russian military blogger Yuri Podolyaka told news agency AFP that the holes seen in the wreckage of the plane could be from anti-aircraft missile systems. He said that the damage suggests that the plane may have accidentally collided with an air defense missile system. Defense expert James J. Marlow wrote on social media that he had received information that when this accident happened, Russian defense systems were intercepting Ukrainian drones in Grozny. If this is true, then it is possible that the defense system mistook the plane for a drone and attacked by mistake. Russia accused of jamming the GPS of the plane
Flightradar24, a website that provides information related to the tracking of planes, made a different claim about the plane. The website said its GPS was jammed before the accident. Flightradar has also shared a graph related to the plane. The jamming of the plane’s GPS is also being linked to Russia. In fact, Russia has been accused of causing GPS transmission failure in the past as well. Earlier theories about the plane crash… 1. Oxygen cylinder burst due to bird hit: According to media reports, the oxygen cylinder of the plane exploded due to a bird hit, which caused the plane to crash. However, even then questions were being raised about this theory. Actually, in the footage related to this, fire was seen in the plane only after the crash. Fire or smoke was not visible before that. 2. Technical fault: Kazakhstan officials had said that they are also investigating the crash from the angle of some technical faults.
