As Euronews originally reported earlier in December and January, Azerbaijan Airlines Flight 8243 was downed on 25 December by a missile from a Russian Pantsir-S1 system, killing 38 and injuring 29.
ADVERTISEMENTThe deadly Azerbaijan Airlines crash on 25 December was a direct result of damage to key flight systems caused by foreign objects, a preliminary official report released on Tuesday by the Azerbaijani government showed.The report details that the Kazakh Ministry of Transport has found “numerous through and blind damages” on the fuselage, the tail section, and the aft part of the aeroplane, including its stabilisers.Furthermore, the investigators retrieved unidentified metallic debris that caused damage to the aircraft’s hydraulic systems following “two external noises”. “Due to adverse weather conditions the aircraft unsuccessfully attempted to land in Grozny two times, and then the captain decided to return to Baku. Following this decision, the CVR recorded two external noises, occurring with 24 seconds interval, over Grozny,” the report said.Further forensic tests will be conducted to determine the source of the foreign objects, the report noted.No evidence of a bird strike was noted in the preliminary report.The Azerbaijan Airlines Flight 8243 from Baku to Grozny crashed while attempting an emergency landing near Aktau in Kazakhstan.Prior to the crash, the Embraer ERJ 190-100 jet lost all primary flight controls, suffered cabin depressurisation, and the crew reported exploding seats in the cabin.The aircraft crashed some 5 kilometres from Aktau Airport’s Runway 11, breaking apart and catching fire, Azerbaijan-based international news channel AnewZ reported.A total of 38 people on board were killed, including the captain, first officer, senior flight attendant, and 35 passengers, while 29 others survived with injuries.Prior to the release of the preliminary report, sources revealed to Euronews that electronic warfare systems were deployed against the Azerbaijani aircraft as it was on its approach to land in Grozny, followed by a strike from a Russian Pantsir-S1 air defence system, brought over to Chechnya from Syria.The day after the crash, Azerbaijani government sources told Euronews that a Russian surface-to-air missile caused the Azerbaijan Airlines plane crash in Aktau.According to the sources, the missile was fired at Flight 8432 during drone air activity above Grozny, and the shrapnel hit the passengers and cabin crew as it exploded next to the aircraft mid-flight. Government sources told Euronews that the damaged aircraft was not allowed to land at any Russian airports despite the pilots’ requests for an emergency landing, and it was ordered to fly across the Caspian Sea towards Aktau in Kazakhstan. According to data, the plane’s GPS navigation systems were jammed throughout the flight path above the sea.’Apologise, admit guilt, punish the guilty’Three days after the crash, in an address to the nation, Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev said, “We can say with complete clarity that the plane was shot down by Russia. (…) We are not saying that it was done intentionally, but it was done.”ADVERTISEMENTAt that time, on 29 December, Aliyev said Baku made three demands to Russia in connection with the crash.“First, the Russian side must apologise to Azerbaijan. Second, it must admit its guilt. Third, punish the guilty, bring them to criminal responsibility and pay compensation to the Azerbaijani state, the injured passengers and crew members,” Aliyev outlined.Aliyev noted that the first demand was “already fulfilled” when Russian President Vladimir Putin apologised to him on 28 December. Putin called the crash a “tragic incident,” though he stopped short of acknowledging Moscow’s responsibility.On the same day, Kazakhstan’s government told Euronews that it decided to send the aircraft’s flight recorders to Brazil to aid in the full and unequivocal disclosure of facts around the tragedy — a move indicating that Kazakhstan and Azerbaijan were aligned in their quest for a transparent investigation.ADVERTISEMENTThe preliminary report will be followed by a final report within one year from the day of the crash, according to international regulations.
