Summary
An Azerbaijan Airlines Embraer 190 crashed near Aktau, Kazakhstan, killing 38 of 67 onboard, with 29 survivors.
The plane was diverted due to fog en route to Grozny, Chechnya, before crashing 1.9 miles from the runway.
Speculation suggests a Russian air defense missile may have caused the crash amid heightened regional tensions.
Aviation analysts cite shrapnel patterns as evidence of a missile strike.
Sounds like Russia just admitted they did it then. There’s no reason for them to say it this way otherwise.
They could have said “we’ll work with you” or provided proof they didn’t do it, or other constructive things, but instead they say this.
Eh, providing proof of not having done something is very hard without having proof of how it was done. But otherwise I agree.
Isn’t that the point though?
