According to Feiyou, last week Putin officially admitted that the Azerbaijan passenger plane was "shot down" by Russia on December 25, 2024, and expressed his willingness to compensate for the first time. President Lavrov had an article about this matter at that time, and immediately pointed out that the plane was shot down by Russia. It took Russia more than nine months to finally verify it.

Now that this matter has been mentioned again, it is also a good time to review the accident again. President La Liga believes that the pilots in this accident were very heroic. They saved the lives of some passengers through extremely superb technology and are worth remembering forever.
At 7:55 a.m. on December 25, 2024, Azerbaijan Airlines ERJ-190 passenger plane numbered 4K-AZ65 took off from Baku Airport and headed for Grozny, the capital of the Chechen Republic. The plane was carrying 62 passengers and 5 crew members at the time, flight number J28243.
The Republic of Chechnya is located in the northern part of the Caucasus mountains and can be reached for more than an hour. The day Grozny was cloudy and poor visibility. At 8:12 a.m. flight J28243 "GPS failed", and at 8:16 a.m. also "control system failed (seems to have) bird strike".

According to reports, the J28342 flight had been preparing for a nearby landing several times, but later the captain that the hydraulic system failed and the aircraft was completely out of control. Later it regained its appearance on software such as FR24, and suddenly it was very unusual. It struggled to fly over the Caspian Sea and eventually landed at the Akhwat airport in Kazakhstan.
Unfortunately, the landing was unsuccessful.The plane eventually hit the ground on a deserted beach three kilometers from the airport and broke into two parts.But 29 passengers survived due to relatively slow speeds and facilities for airport rescue.
According to Lavrov, this is one of the miracles in the history of civil aviation, the U.S. South City air crash in Canberra in 1989. Now the process of the matter has been completely clear. On the day that Ukraine had a long-range drone attack on Grodno, the local Russian air defense forces in panic took the ERJ-190 as an enemy and launched two missiles.

The air defense missiles do not pursue direct impact, but usually explode near the aircraft, relying on the bullet to destroy the target. The ERJ-190 was hit by the bullet's tail, and the control system failed. When hydraulic oil leakage, the aircraft became completely uncontrollable. and the GPS failed because it prevented drone attacks and released GPS interference.
So the aircraft should be manipulated by the engine push through the entire process of flying over the Caspian Sea. That is, by turning through the two-sided push differences, the push size can be reduced and raised by adjusting the proper gesture. This operation is extremely difficult, but in extreme cases, such as in the air crash of Suzhou and the crash of the Japanese Flight 123, it has been forced to use. The aircraft with the loss of control system can fly to the airport near Akkuwa, it is already very amazing.
The altitude of this plane was close to "0" twice, and then it rose to more than 300 meters, which showed the degree of danger at that time. In order to aim at the runway of Aktau Airport, the plane also turned an "8"-shaped bend, indicating that the pilot has been trying to save it. According to the survivors' recollection, the crew chief has been appeasing everyone and showed amazing courage and professionalism.

In the history of humanity, there have been many “mistaken” civil aircraft incidents, mainly caused by countries such as Russia and Iran. While remembering these air accidents, we should not forget the heroic pilots who tried to save the situation.
