Will Russia's Alleged Downing Of Azerbaijan Airlines Flight Overturn The Great Game Board In The Caucasus?
Authored by Conor Gallagher via NakedCapitalism.com,
There are plenty of theories of what brought down Azerbaijan Airlines flight J2-8243 on Christmas Day. The plane, which was traveling from the Azerbaijani capital Baku to Grozny in the Russian region of Chechnya, ran into trouble over Russia and made an emergency landing in Aktau, Kazakhstan, in which 38 of the 67 people on board were killed.
The black boxes from the aircraft are currently being analyzed at Brazil's Center for Investigation and Prevention of Aeronautical Accidents, but what's already clear is that some have already made up their minds that Russia is responsible. Media in the US and Europe were of course quick to point the finger. That's unsurprising; they blame Moscow for every stubbed toe and spilt coffee.

Were Ukraine's Reckless Drone Attacks Responsible For The Azerbaijan Airlines Tragedy
Authored by Andrew Korybko via substack,
CNN cited an unnamed US official to report that the crash of Azerbaijan Airlines flight J2-8243 in Kazakhstan, which was traveling from Baku to Grozny before suddenly veering off course towards the Caspian Sea, might have been caused by Russian air defenses mistakenly firing on it.
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov cautioned against indulging in speculation and to wait until the investigation is concluded, but his advice obviously went unheeded by the US, which has an interest in shaping the narrative.
In this case, it wants to absolve Ukraine of responsibility after it turned out that it had launched long-range drone strikes on Grozny around the time of the incident, which could have either led to Russian air defenses mistakenly firing on the plane or the shrapnel from a destroyed drone could have hit it instead. RT reported that the preliminary investigation hyp...

A Russian SAM was fired at the Embraer ERJ-190 during a drone swarm above Grozny, the capital city of Chechnya, Russia. The SAM detonated near the commercial jet and unleashed a spray formation of shrapnel that damaged the plane's rear fuselage and flight controls.

Dramatic Video Shows Azerbaijan Airlines Passenger Jet Crash In Kazakhstan
An Azerbaijan Airlines commercial jet carrying 62 passengers and five crew members crashed in the Kazakhstani city of Aktau. The Embraer ERJ-190 attempted an emergency landing following initial reports of a "bird strike." Early reports indicate there are 28 survivors.
"Flight #J28243 that crashed near Aktau Airport in Kazakhstan is an Azerbaijan Airlines Embraer ERJ-190 with registration 4K-AZ65," flight tracking website Flightradar24 wrote on X.
Flightradar24 said, "J28243 took off from Baku at 03:55 UTC time and was flying to Grozny. The aircraft was exposed to strong GPS jamming which made the aircraft transmit bad ADS-B data. At 04:40 UTC we lost the ADS-B signal. At 06:07 UTC we picked up the ADS-B signal again before it crashed at 06:28 UTC."
