New and striking claims have emerged regarding the crash of an ERJ-190 type Azerbaijan Airlines plane yesterday in Aktau, Kazakhstan. It was initially reported that the plane could not land at its planned destination, Grozny, due to heavy fog. However, other possible causes of the crash continue to be debated.
Claims of Drone Attacks and Rocket Explosions
According to newly surfaced allegations, unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) attacks were taking place in the area as the plane was approaching Grozny for landing. The claims suggest that the AZAL plane was exposed to UAV explosions or shrapnel from rockets launched to intercept these drones.
Post-Crash Images and Damage Analysis
Post-crash images show visible damage to the cabin area and outer fuselage before the plane went down. Shrapnel-like deformations were observed on parts of the plane’s tail section at the crash site.
Flightradar Data and GPS Jamming
According to data from the popular flight-tracking platform Flightradar, the plane might have been subjected to powerful GPS jamming. This interference could have prevented the transmission of accurate flight data.
Awaiting Official Statements
There has yet to be any official confirmation from Azerbaijani, Ukrainian, or Russian authorities about the aircraft sustaining damage while airborne. The exact causes of the crash are expected to be clarified following detailed investigations.
