A passenger plane of Azerbaijan Airlines crashed near the Kazakh city of Aktau because it was attacked by Russian air defense, Euronews reports.

According to Azerbaijani government sources, the Russians hit the plane with a surface-to-air missile.

Euronews' interlocutors clarify that the missile was fired at the plane while it was flying over Grozny, where drone activity was recorded. It exploded near the plane, and its fragments hit passengers and crew members.

Also, according to journalists' sources, the damaged plane was not allowed to land at Russian airports when the pilots requested an emergency landing. The plane was ordered to fly across the Caspian Sea toward Aktau.

Euronews found out that the plane's GPS navigation system was jammed throughout the flight over the sea.

Afterward, photos were posted online showing that the plane's skin was damaged by shrapnel.

Against this background, the head of the Center for Countering Disinformation of the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine, Andrii Kovalenko, emphasized that the plane was shot down by a Russian anti-aircraft missile system. This happened because the Russians did not close the airspace over Grozny during the drone attack on the city.

Russia's at it again, making a mess with their surface-to-air missiles. This isn't the first time they've made a blunder like this, and I reckon it won't be the last. They've got a track record of doing this.

Can you imagine if Israel had mistakenly shot down a civilian plane? There'd be outrage! The international community would be going mental, demanding answers and accountability. But when Russia does it, everyone just seems to shrug it off and say, "Oh, it's just Russia being Russia again."

And do not forget, Russia's always denying any wrongdoing, even when the evidence is staring them right in the face. It's like they think everyone is just a bunch of mugs who'll swallow whatever they're peddling.

Putin and his gang need to be held accountable for their mistakes, and the world can't just let them get away with it all the time.

Did Russia actually shoot down the plane??

Botragelad:
An investigation was conducted. Read the post, especially the bolded part. Cheers!

First Russia shot down the plane, and denied them a Landing request. This isn't the first time it's happening!

Botragelad:
Yeah. Please read the post carefully. Russia has shot down many civilian planes in the past few years. Just like Iran!

Lovenorth:
And so what?

Investigation from Ukraine

You are the one who should 'read to understand' the post
