Russia’s aviation chief said Friday that a Ukrainian drone attack was under way in the region of Chechnya at the time an Azerbaijani airliner attempted to land before diverting to Kazakhstan and crashing there earlier this week...
Yadrov, the Russian aviation chief, said that as the plane was preparing to land in Grozny in deep fog, Ukrainian drones were targeting Grozny, prompting authorities to close the area for air traffic.
Yadrov said that after the captain made two unsuccessful attempts to land in Grozny, he was offered other airports as an alternative but decided to fly to Aktau across the Caspian Sea...
Ukrainian drones had previously attacked Grozny, the capital of the Russian republic of Chechnya, and other regions in the country’s North Caucasus.

A couple of nitwit zeepers were claiming this ‘didn’t matter’ this morning...go figure.
They also claim anybody who is against the Ukraine war is a Putinista.
Yes, a 118 foot long airliner with a 94 foot wingspan looks so much like a drone.
The Ukrainians flew drones all over the area. The Russians closed all the surrounding airports and hit the plane while trying to hit the drones. The plane reported it was hit and needed to land in an emergency. The Russians told the flight crew to go f*** themselves, so the plane diverted to across the Caspian Sea, but didn’t make it. Both sides are partly at fault, but the diabolical disregard for human life belongs to the Russians.
Yeah, right.
I seriously doubt that Ukraine would attempt to make drone attacks where there is “deep fog” - poor visibility would prevent operators from seeing their targets.
Here’s a more believable answer: A Russian Pantsir fired on an Azerbaijani commercial aircraft by mistake, so Russia denied it permission to land and jammed the crap out its navigation system in the hopes of it crashing into the Caspian Sea to cover up the evidence.
Neocons Freepers are hands down the lowest form of life ever to drag their carcasses across the fair face of planet Earth.
“They also claim anybody who is against the Ukraine war is a Putinista.”
By their standards, the ONLY WAY I could be a Putinista is if I support giving $300B to Russia to fight the war. After all, isn’t the price of admission for Zeepers.
Regarding this article, I do find it interesting that the Neocon drone attack on Grozny was timed PERFECTLY to the jet landing there in very tough conditions. That reeks of terrorism, at least to me.
>> They also claim anybody who is against the Ukraine war is a Putinista. <<
I certainly don’t believe that IN GENERAL, but around Free Republic, there seems to be a massive contingency of people hell-bent on providing Putin with the justification for destroying a nation. Any reasonable person would call such people Putinistas.
We don’t need to interject ourselves into every war, but anyone who uses pictures of a former comedian acting a little goofy or even fruity as a justification to destroy a nation is an absolute psychopath.
They're all over this thread, spewing lies to cover for their murderous Azov Nazi buddies...
Got a link to that statement?
They will agree with whatever comes out of Moscow.
"VIVA QUEMALA & NANZI!"
"SLAVA UKRAINI!"
"NANZI & UKRAINE FOREVER!"
"LONG LIVE ZELVIS & FJB!"
There wouldn't even be a war but for the CIA's 2014 coup that overthrew a democratically elected government and the $250+ billion dollars they have laundered through Ukraine.
A Russian wouldn’t lie to you.
I’m against the Ukraine war because the thick, stupid Putin started it.
I like the way you think.
I don’t have any Nazi buddies. But you’ve got some KGB buddies. Enjoy your corruption.
