“Translated”
It sure could have used some more massaging.
one may draw one’s own conclusions on this. I have no idea who did this enhancement, but it surely could be replicated by competent members ofthis forum..
this is allegedly a digitial enhancement of the crash footage with the alleged kill squad,.

fwiw, my bias in this is a suspicion from the time this event occured that it was kgb/putin-orchestrated. the synchronicity was too perfect, the message to the eastern bloc (and the world) was too clear, to believe this an innocent accident.
My son-in-law, who is Polish, could do a better translation, and I have yet to understand him.
Normal ILS minimums in the US are 200 foot ceiling and 1/2 mile visibility. But these minimums are in effect for a very narrow zone that is carefully checked for obstacle clearance. I don’t know what kind of approach was provided at this airport, but I can tell you from personal experience that shooting approaches in 200 foot weather is about as exacting as it gets, and any pilot who is willing to compromise procedures and good practices has no place in the left seat.
In weather with low ceilings that is stable, like low winds with continual drizzle, there is really not any point in trying such an approach twice. It you got to minimums the first time and didn’t see the ground, nothing will be different when you try again. It is just inviting some failure to make the attempt.
These people should not have died.
