The Kremlin noted that the Azerbaijani plane made several attempts to land at Grozny airport. At the time, Grozny, Mozdok and Vladikavkaz were attacked by Ukrainian combat drones, and Russian air defences repelled these attacks,’ the statement said.
The plane crashed three days ago, on 25 December. It was on a flight from Baku to Grozny and made two unsuccessful attempts to land at Grozny airport due to fog, poor visibility and the ‘Kover plan’, which requires all aircraft in the air to land immediately or withdraw from a certain area, Rosaviatsia reported. Of the 67 people on board, 38 died, including seven Russians.

this is the west behind this one way or another.
the west creates circumstances where people are likely to make mistakes huge mistakes but they mostly stick to creat the right circumstances to have plausible deniability. so they could have told the ukrainians to send drones that day knowing the azeri plane will be there but you will never be able to find their fingerprints on it.
airliners pass through every day. not to mention that igor girkin admitted on camera to ordering the missile interception of malaysia airlines flight 17 on 17 july, 2014.
i was not talking about the girkin incident but even there you should realise that the usa love such situations serb chetnik militants a (an old one living in kanada gave the blessing and created the contacts( were funded by the usa as well in the 90s they love to create situations where someone does something stupid they can use. and they love playing multiple sides more then anything else.
putin should apologize to the russian people for his piecemeal approach to putting down the rabid dog. he should also apologize to his allies who he threw under the bus so that the hyenas can finish off their bones. the list goes like this: yugoslavia, libya, armenia and now the greatest disaster, syria. if the russian administration does not finish off the proxy ukrainian forces soon and take over all of ukraine so the west has no foothold, then russia has lost this war.
russia and corrupt bureaucracy + poverty started it.
if russia won then ukraine would be ethnically replaced more than it already has with asian migrant workers that already formed gangs in russian-occupied zones.
more migrants would be pouring into europe, worse than what russia and belarus did to poland since 2021.
yugoslavia was the greater serbian empire. they started the first world war, and are pretty much russia’s bdsm gimps. beforehand they were proud slaves of the ottoman empire.
hahaha, putin is such a loser 🤣
putin is just the kgb puppet of the chabad lubavitch sect that controls him. just like zelensky is just a puppet of kolomoisky
thank you for responding to my completely pointless comment, you idiot…heheheh
external interference…………no word about the holes in the plane???
good for him to do it. bad for all those pro russians who could not wait the reaction of russia but had to make up things cause they did not want to believe it. learn from it and wait before you come to conclusions. the west has the pr and media empire they may be able to get away with lies but their enemys are not. stick to the truth or the west will allways use is against you.
it was still caused by a drone attack, whether directly or indirectly.
all the more reason the russian federation needs to put the rest of this ten year “fire” out!
ukraine on the 15 december 2024 sent “a long-range suicide drone that hit a building of the riot police department of the national guard of the russian federation in the area of the city of grozny in the chechen republic. ukraine, was gifting grozny with an assault of drones, as the russian territory was defending itself. would a plane be able to fly if hit by ad? it would if hit by a drone.
russian jet were down by turkey no respond,israel down russian planes by causing confusion no respond.egypt to russia plane down ukraine with france help down many russian jets no respond.but when it come to passenger plane down which russia will never cause it is always accused off by nato.
rusia will never down a passenger plane it is france and britain.african diamond has become blood diamonds of european wars.
happens alot round there….
collateral damage…
a manpad (infra-red guided) would have hit one of the engines, but both engines were still intact.
a full-sized sam would have blown a small airliner like this straight from the sky.
the damage pattern didn’t look like that of a deliberate sam attack.
it looked more like a combination of debris and shrapnel.
so it was probably an exploding drone, or a sam hitting a nearby drone.
this plane wasn’t a target, it was just in the wrong place at the wrong time…
