Russia's Crumbling Planes Keep Coming Down. Putin Wants More Flights
Newsweek ^ | Sept. 12, 2023 | David Brennan

sanctions imposed because of the war in Ukraine has led to a lack of spare parts for Russian airlines which have Airbus or Boeing planes. There have been several emergency landings in recent months.

In the latest incident, a Ural Airlines Airbus 320 was flying from the Black Sea resort of Sochi to the city of Omsk in southwestern Siberia on Tuesday when the aircraft sounded an alarm, according to the Telegram channel Baza...

Independent Russian news outlet Agentstvo said that the plane was among those that Russian airlines had refused to return to their owners after Putin's full-scale invasion of Ukraine.

In March 2023, video shows the dramatic moments when passengers on a Rossiya airlines flight from Sochi to Krasnoyarsk pulled on their oxygen masks during an emergency landing. The journalist Jason Corcoran posted the video on social media writing that: "Western jets seized by the Kremlin are deteriorating due to lack of servicing & parts"

On June 15, a Russian Sukhoi Superjet-100 (SS-100) plane with 54 passengers onboard made an emergency landing in Irkutsk after the air-conditioning system malfunctioned, Radio Free Europe reported.

Only two days before, another SS-100 jet flying from Moscow to Kazakhstan's Caspian port city of Aqtau made an emergency landing in the Russian city of Samara due to problems in one of its engines....

Your propaganda can be divided into two categories, both made of pure, USDA Choice bulls***

- Russia will invade all of Europe, meddle in American democracy, hack our computers, and take over Africa, be very afraid!

- Russia is completely incompetent, its planes are crashing, its soldiers are starving and fighting with only shovels.

Delta passengers stranded on island after diversion warned not to start a ‘revolution,’ told to be ‘grateful’ plane didn’t crash.

Passengers on board a Delta flight to New York were diverted to a Portuguese island where they say they were stuck in a secluded part of the airport for 12 hours and had to beg for food, as airline representatives warned them not to start “a revolution.”

Flight 157 was carrying 200 people from Ghana to New York on Friday when it experienced a “mechanical issue with a backup oxygen system” and diverted to the Lajes Airport, a spokesperson for Delta told the Post.

“We were abandoned by Delta and treated like encroaching roaches by airport representatives on Terceira Islands,” passenger Nana Asante-Smith wrote on Facebook, saying they had a “reckless disregard for human life and well-being.”

“led to a lack of spare parts for Russian airlines which have Airbus or Boeing planes”

Why should Russia need inferior Western parts? They have a much greater industrial base than the crumbling West, we’ve all been told over and over again.

—”The aircraft had been leased by the airline since 2013”

And the payments stopped over a year ago...

So, FLY IT LIKE YOU STOLE IT!

I’m rather curious as to what you do with a large jetliner in a cornfield. Salvage what you can for parts?

(August incident)

They could get the parts through China, bit Boeing and Aorbis can’t do business with any entity that is affiliated woth the Chinese Communist Party or People’s Liberation Army (which is most Chinese businesses, including their airlines). So stay off Chinese airliners.
