Russia tried to make Azerbaijan Airlines plane crash in the sea by refusing permission to land after missile attack, then jamming its navigation to force hero pilot over water before crash killed 38

Russia reportedly attempted to make the Azerbaijan Airlines plane crash in to the sea by refusing permission to let it land after a missile attack before jamming its navigation system.

A Russian surface-to-air missile struck the flight on Christmas Day, causing the airliner to crash in Kazakhstan - a tragedy which claimed the lives of 38 people.

Sources told Euronews that the missile was fired at Flight 8432 amid drone air activity above Grozny, the Chechen capital, citing a preliminary investigation.

They said the pilot was blocked from landing at any Russian airports despite making emergency pleas, and was instead ordered to carry on into Kazakhstan.

Taking to X, citing pro-government media, The Azeri Times confirmed that the Azerbaijan Airlines plane was denied emergency landings by Russia at three nearby conditions, despite its critical condition.

The news outlet also stated that the plane was subjected to 'extreme GPS jamming' which forced its hero pilot, Aleksandr Kalyaninov, to divert the flight over the Caspian Sea, where it eventually landed in Aktau, Kazakhstan.

Local media cited government sources in suggesting jammers 'paralysed' the plane's communication systems'.

According to Flightradar24 data, the aircraft departed Azerbaijan's capital, Baku, at 03:55am and valid position data was received from the aircraft until 04:25am when the flight encountered 'significant GPS interference'.

Mighta been the safe thing to do. Land on water. It’s softer and won’t blow the plane up. Reminds me of the movie “None But the Brave”. A DC-3 carrying marines crash landed on a beach. They hit the water first. Then the beach.

Ok so it was Russians that shot them down and Russians who jammed the radio. Might saved them.

As usual, nothing but the most sensationalistic and unsubstantiated propaganda from the Daily Fail.

It’s not like the Russians have a history of shooting civilian aircraft down or anything.

It appears they tried to hide the evidence.

I wanna hear how the Putin Pukes defend this.

The Russians didn’t skit for them! The Russians wanted to hide the bodies and announce a plane crashed into the sea and was too difficult to recover.

All they wanted to do was hide the evidence. If they were jamming the GPS they did not do it out of love.

I find the “GPS spoofing” claim dubious. Easy to jam, a lot harder to spoof, and military signals are probably impossible to spoof in practice, and if they had that capability why reveal it in a penny ante confrontation? Wait for the big show.

Yup.
Question is, just how much in recycled US tax payer dollars is the corrupt, sleazy Zellensky/Ukraine regime paying “marcusmaximus” to regularly spew out deranged Ukraine propaganda?

Like this?

On July 3, 1988, one such cruiser, the USS Vincennes, shot down an Iran Air civilian passenger plane, Iran Air Flight 655.

Actually I was thinking of this deliberate act.

Surely you haven’t forgotten that one. Or maybe you have.

Or this one:

Malaysia Airlines Flight 17 (MH17/MAS17) was a scheduled passenger flight from Amsterdam to Kuala Lumpur that was shot down by Russian-backed forces with a Buk 9M38 surface-to-air missile on 17 July 2014

Here we go again with Zeepers having fake panic attacks over a plane crash sensationalized by lying British tabloids. The British press makes the lying, evil American press look noble in comparison.

The back end of the plane was peppered with bullet or shrapnel holes. Looks like a friendly fire accident. But forcing the plane out over the Caspian is weird.

I suppose gunners might have mistaken the plane for a drone, but a full-sized airliner from the south doesn’t really look like a drone coming from the west.

Please do not blame the press for Russian callousness, brutality and criminal incompetence, which is once more on vivid display. Whether or not we care to make Russian callousness our problem, we should at the very least let them know that one ballistic missile launched by Russia at the United States will signal the end of Russian “civilization”.

Do not tell me to believe the lying press. Here in the U.S. the press is the propaganda organ of the communist “Democratic” Party and has proved itself to be liars and the British press is even worse. You can play stupid but I don’t have to play along so bugger off neocon.

It’s not like the Russians have never shot a civilian aircraft down and then lied about it or anything.

If you wanna make defending Putin the hill to die on, help yourself, but it’ll be mighty lonesome up there. Putin himself will be snuggled warm in his dacha.

I am America first and Europe and the crooked Ukrainians LAST. The Ukraine War is a circus of corruption, misery and genocide that is draining our treasury and enslaving us with debt.

You and your neocon crew are grifting psychopaths. If you think this war is so damn important volunteer you pathetic armchair general. They are taking all comers as volunteers so I dare you to live up to your convictions and shed your own blood.

The Clinton administration and TWA flight 800. An American passenger jet shot down by an American missile in America and totally covered up by D.C. and its captive media.
