Russian military blogger Yuriy Podolyaka in his Telegram channel:
"The damage to the Azerbaijani Embraer 190 aircraft that crashed today near Aktau, Kazakhstan, claiming the lives of 33 people, suggests that the plane may have been accidentally struck by an air defence missile system (SAM).
Indeed, the damage closely resembles that caused by a SAM, with the detonation of the warhead occurring from the side and slightly above the aircraft.
Survivors recall hearing a "bang on board" (as we can now see, it was external) during the third attempt to land at Grozny Airport, which was shrouded in fog. Following this, the plane was redirected to Makhachkala.
However, the pilots opted to fly to Aktau, which, given the circumstances, was a highly logical decision."
"The final report on the tragic crash of Azerbaijan Airlines flight J2-8243 near Aktau will be published by December, said Talgat Lastaev, vice minister of transport of the Republic of Kazakhstan, during a government briefing on Tuesday.
The Brazilian Aeronautical Accidents Investigation and Prevention Centre (CENIPA) has finalised the decoding of black boxes from the Azerbaijan Airlines crash near Aktau, Kazakhstan, providing key data to assist authorities in uncovering the cause of the tragedy.
