The preliminary findings of the Azerbaijan Airlines investigation suggest that the plane crash was due to "external physical and technical interference," raising serious doubts about Russia's airspace safety protocols.
While Russian officials attributed the crash to weather and bird collisions, visible damage on the aircraft indicates potential involvement of an air-defense missile, suggesting a complex scenario at Grozny Airport.
Following the incident, Azerbaijan Airlines announced it will suspend flights to numerous Russian cities, citing "potential risks to flight safety," until the investigation is concluded.
Flightradar24 revealed that the plane was subjected to GPS jamming and spoofing near Grozny, a tactic often used to defend against drone threats, complicating the crash's narrative.
