AZAL plane was shot down by Russian anti-aircraft missiles

The AZAL plane was attacked by the Russian "Pantsir-S" air defense system as it approached the city of Grozny, according to the preliminary findings of the investigation, which were based on information gathered by the editorial office of Caliber.Az from credible government sources.

Furthermore, the Russian side's use of electronic warfare systems completely disabled the Azerbaijani plane's communication system. Because of this, the plane vanished from Russian radars, and the signal was only restored in the Caspian Sea region.  

According to Russian sources, Russian air defense forces attempted to shoot down Ukrainian UAVs while flying over Chechnya. Thus, Hamzat Kadyrov, the head of the Republic of Chechnya's Security Council, confirmed the drone attack in Grozny on December 25 and stated that there were no casualties or property damage. In this case, the Russian side was required to close its airspace to civilian aircraft, but this was not done. The decision to declare a no-fly zone over Chechnya remains a major question.

Grozny airport did not allow the plane to land. Moreover, the pilots were not given permission to land at the airports of Makhachkala and Mineralnye Vody. The disoriented crew of the plane, which was hit by air defense systems and electronic warfare systems, was directed to the city of Aktau, Kazakhstan. It can be assumed that this recommendation was given with one purpose: for the plane to fall into the Caspian Sea, all the witnesses will die, and the plane will sink. However, we note that this is our assumption.

The alternative versions circulating in the Russian media are deliberately false in order to confuse public opinion. Video footage from inside the plane shows two passengers injured by shrapnel. All evidence, including evidence of explosions heard on the plane, points to an air defense system firing at the plane. The situation for the Azerbaijani side participating in the investigation is completely obvious. No one claims it was done on purpose. However, taking into account the established facts, Baku expects that the Russian side will admit that it shot down the Azerbaijani plane, apologize to the people of Azerbaijan and conduct a thorough investigation, as a result of which all the culprits will be brought to justice.
