A survivor recounted, 'I remember the pilot twice trying to land in dense fog over Grozny and then the third time, something exploded, some of the aircraft skin had blown out.' He indicated a dramatic shift in the flight's status, suggesting that the situation quickly deteriorated with the explosion.
Azerbaijan Airlines flight was likely shot down by a Russian military air-defense system, according to an aviation security alert from Osprey Flight Solutions. This was emphasized by the concurrent analysis of the airspace security in southwest Russia, making the event suspiciously connected to ongoing military activities.
After the crash, investigators found the plane's black box and looked into reports that an onboard cylinder containing oxygen exploded moments before the incident, indicating a potential technical failure or external involvement disrupting the flight's safety.
'It looks very much like the detonation of [a Russian] air defense missile to the rear and to the left of the aircraft,' said Justin Crump, asserting that the patterns of damage seem consistent with a missile strike rather than an accident.
