Russia’s President Vladimir Putin has apologized for the fact that an Azerbaijan Airlines flight crashed after entering Russian airspace in Grozny, Chechnya on Wednesday, but did not say that Russia was responsible.

Putin said Saturday that Russia’s air defense systems were active when the plane attempted to land in Grozny, according to the Kremlin. Unable to reach the airport, the aircraft diverted east, eventually crashing near Aktau, Kazakhstan, killing 38 people on board.

It is unconfirmed what was behind the incident, but a US official told CNN on Thursday that early indications suggest a Russian anti-aircraft system may have downed the enger jet. In his comments, Putin did not say that Russian air defenses hit the plane.

The Kremlin said that the plane “repeatedly attempted to land at the airport in Grozny” but at the same time, the areas of “Grozny, Mozdok and Vladikavkaz were attacked by Ukrainian combat drones, and Russian air defense systems repelled these attacks.”

Russia’s investigative committee has opened a criminal case in relation to the disaster, the statement said.

In a statement on Friday, Ukraine’s foreign minister Andrii Sybiha said Russian media has “lied about the cause of the crash,” adding that Moscow “forced the damaged jet to cross the sea, most likely in an attempt to conceal evidence of their crime.

Russia and China are the two major countries that use unmanned automatic air defense systems. Meaning they use sensors to shoot down anything that Flys over it.

This is wrong.
Air defense systems should be manned NOT unmanned. This way the operator will know the difference between enger and fighter planes. The unmanned system cannot differentiate hence the reason it shot down the aircraft.

If you want to understand how it works, just watch Tom Cruise "Top Gun 2" movie

Lastly, tell him to marry off his two daughters to the Arzebaijan presido for peace to reign.

There is a culture of silence in these countries.

A Ukrainian immigrant explained their way to me. Russia and Ukraine have warred since 2013. The world knew about the events in 2022. Till today, no side openly claims they are at war. It’s a case of who smelt it dealt it. If Ukraine claims it’s a war, they’ll be blamed as the aggressors. If Russia does the same, everyone will blame them. Only western media claims the situation is a war. Those ones no send anybody. They can spread misinformation for all they care. Na money be their endgame, last last.

Russia brought down this plane, hence the apology. I don’t care, so far zero West African lives are lost. People will always die. War caught the victims.

I keep saying it that Putin is the greatest threat to human race in the world at the present. This is the sole reason why there will be nuclear war, because everyone will get fed up by his atrocious acts.

WrriterNg will be ashame of himself anywhere he is now.
No more helicopter crash news in the West for him to post

Putin has made the Russian military a laughing stock in the world. Killing it's own citizens with its own air defence system.
Imagine employing Korean soldiers that doesn't understand Russian language or roadsigns to fight for him.

That shows those areas are very volatile as the areas where the plane attempted to land were areas where Russian air defenses were active Ukrainian combat drones were active. It is is still suspected that Russia air defenses shit the plane down

Innocent people killed because of a nonsense war.


Man lacks foresight, these big countries should actually be working together to develop weapons that could protect the earth from a possible alien invasion, not that we have chances against them if it finally happens.

But instead, they are busy building weapons that will end the world in less than 7 days, how sad.
