A nearly 31000 feet/minute vertical speed at the end for flight #MU5735, a China Eastern Airlines Boeing 737-89P reg. B-1791.
CCTV footage confirms the near vertical descent of 🇨🇳 #MU5735 B-1791.

According to planespotters.net, China Eastern Airlines B737-89P B-1791 was only 6.8 years old (built 2015). Image

Looks like the right winglet root. Likely indicates the right wing was attached all the way to the crash site. ImageImage
Something I noticed about the Flightradar24 data. At about 7500 feet, the altitude actually INCREASED, before beginning its final decent.

Note the track also oscillates between 140 and 73 degrees.

Steepest vertical inclines are closer to the original 100 degree heading.

Awful. Image

Maybe filming your naval ships unloading cargo with an exact location wasn't such a good idea, Russia.
Also, it's not like the port is very big. Image

At least 5 🇷🇺 Russian Air Force, Navy and government (Rossiya - SFD) flights between 0800Z & 1630Z March 13 over Russia and Syria.

They are (callsign, type, reg, ICAO):

RuAF:
RFF212 Il-76MD RA-78830 #1533EE

Ru Navy:
n/a Tu-154M RF-85856 #184F60

Rossiya:
RSD050 (FSB) An-148-100EA RA-61707 #14F10B
RSD071 Su-100-95 RA-89039 #155BCF
n/a Tu-214 RA-64532 #14FC14

The only flight of particular interest aside from the usual affair was the Russian Navy Tu-154M RF-85856 #1B4F60 making weird circles all over Syrian airspace as it left Latakia. Whether it was actually flying in circles or if it was just ADS-B spoofing, I can only guess.

Note the 3 detonations tracking right, the pause as whatever is hit burns left, then 3 more detonations.

Strong possibility it was Russian Air Force. Two different AD pieces were used.

Figuring out what sea it was going to be for the landing op was important.

Thread! Assuming it is NOT the Azov Sea, this presents realistically three amphibious landing sites IMHO (🟡🟠🔴) each with advantages and costs.

1/
First, I'd like to make the distinction that I do not know if an amphibious assault would be all one site, or whether the airborne would support or go independently. This is just where I'd put forces if it were one landing site.

2/
Currently, all of the 197th Assault Ship Brigade is in the Black Sea. Operational status for 2 are questionable. Yamal was under repairs for a collision and Filchenkov hasn't been seen active since 2019. Assuming 5 Alligator or Ropucha LSTs.

This is a huge red flag.

Russian Air Force 🇷🇺 Eastern Military District Su-25SMs from (likely) 18th Guards Assault Aviation Regiment, Chernigovka Airbase, Primorsky Krai moved to airfields in 🇧🇾 Belarus.

These aircraft are crucial to a ground attack.

tass.ru/armiya-i-opk/1…
🇧🇾 Luninets Airbase is mentioned as a location for Su-25SM deployment.

It is also a site with recently added S-400 & Pantsir-S deployments.

Recent evidence indicates the base keeps the runway free of snow.

In the video in the link, I'm able to jot down some nose and registration numbers. 10 Su-25s with several from 18 Shturmovik Av Regt, seemingly confirming the movement. tvzvezda.ru/news/202225249…
