Flightradar24 is showing no aircraft in the airport’s immediate vicinity.

Possibly related to the Grozny crash. Could have been friendly fire from Russian Air Defense, as many have been saying, based on apparent shrapnel damage on the tail. The Moscow airports are exposed to Ukrainian drone attacks also, and so probably also have air defense units.

Well, there we go. They probably have to work on IFF with the defense system.

A coup?

No, more like a terror attack

Russia temporally closes Moscow airports due to possible drone attacks

Anti-aircraft crews are undergoing emergency training - OK, guys, this is a commercial airline, this is a Ukrainian drone.

They are afraid of retaliation against Russian civilian aircraft.. or they want people to think that.

So, the fantasy that Putin is dead or dying of blood, thyroid or stomach cancer isn't working for you anymore? So, you have to fantasize there is eminent coup on the horizon?

Does that turn you on?

The AA flight that crashed on Christmas was 100 miles off course, on the other side of the Caspian Sea

That’s what deliberate Russian GPS-jamming did

More blood on Putin’s hands!
