America accuses Russia about the downing of the Azerbaijani plane
Some American military sources told MSNBC on Friday that the US intelligence agency believes that Russia mistakenly identified and shot down the passenger plane of Azerbaijan.
According to Isna, on the morning of Wednesday, December 25, the passenger plane Embraer 190 of the Republic of Azerbaijan, which was flying from the city of Baku to Grozny, Russia, crashed near the city of Aktau in the west of Kazakhstan. The Federal Aviation Administration of Russia (RosAviatsia) announced that after the plane collided with a group of birds, the captain of the plane decided to divert the route and land at the airport of Aktau, Kazakhstan.
A few hours ago, the head of the Russian Aviation Organization said that on the day and hours of the crash of the Azerbaijani plane, the destination city of the plane was targeted by a drone attack from Ukraine.
Pointing out that the situation around the Grozny airport was very complicated on the day and time of the incident, this Russian official said that Ukrainian drones were attacking civilian infrastructure in the cities of Grozny and Vladikavkaz at that time; This caused all the planes around Grozny airport to be ordered to leave.
He also pointed to the thick fog that reduced visibility at an altitude of 500 meters, and said that the pilot was offered to land the plane at alternative airports, but the plane went to Octave after 2 unsuccessful attempts at the Grozny airport.
Also, the Minister of Transport of Azerbaijan announced in his speech that the remains of the plane that crashed in Kazakhstan, as well as the bodies of the survivors, show that this fatal accident occurred due to “foreign intervention”.
