38 people had died in the accident that took place on December 25.
Azerbaijan’s President Ilham Aliyev says that before the plane crashed 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 created such theories regarding this, which clearly shows that it wanted to suppress this issue. A country that is considered a friend of Azerbaijan should have admitted its mistake, apologized and informed the people about it. These are all steps that should have been taken.
Let us tell you that on Christmas day, the Embraer 190 plane of Azerbaijan Airlines had crashed. There were 67 people on board this plane, out of which 38 died. The plane was going from Baku, the capital of Azerbaijan, to Grozny, Russia, but it was diverted towards Aktau, Kazakhstan. Where it crashed.
After the crash, several holes were visible in a piece of the plane. After which the possibility of firing was raised.
The plane crashed and broke into two pieces, after which it caught fire.
Putin had apologized a day earlier Earlier last Saturday, Russian President Vladimir Putin apologized for the plane crash in Azerbaijan. Putin told the President of Azerbaijan that he was sorry that the accident happened in his airspace.
However, Russia did not say that the plane crashed due to firing from its own air defense system.
Yesterday the Kremlin (Russian President’s Office) said-
The Azerbaijani plane reached Grozny on time. He tried repeatedly to land at the airport. At the same time, Ukrainian drones were carrying out strikes in the airspace of Grozny, Mozdok and Vladikavkaz. The Russian air defense system was stopping them. Therefore, it should be stopped from 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 plane’s wreckage could have been caused by an anti-aircraft missile system. He said the damage suggests the plane may have accidentally hit an air defense missile system.
Defense expert James J. Marlow wrote on social media that he had received information that Russian defense systems were intercepting Ukrainian drones in Grozny when this incident occurred. If this is true then it is possible that the defense system might have considered the plane to be a drone and attacked it by mistake.
Russia accused of jamming the plane’s GPS Flightradar24, a website that provides information related to plane tracking, made a different claim about the plane. The website reported that his GPS had jammed before the accident. Flightradar has also shared a graph related to the plane. The GPS jamming of the plane is also being linked to Russia. In fact, Russia has already been accused of failing GPS transmission.
