🇰🇿 Shrapnel markings visible from inside, before it crashed.
It’s looks like an anti aircraft fire, a deliberate downing … not a bird strike!

🇰🇿🇷🇺🇦🇿 PASSANGER SAYS EXPLOSION HAPPENED!
Footage taken during the flight of the Azerbaijan Airlines flight shows that part of the plane's wing is damaged - a hole is visible there. At the same time, oxygen masks have already fallen out in the cabin.
Subhonkul Rakhimov, a survivor of the Aktau plane crash, said that the pilots tried to land the plane in Grozny three times.
He explained also: “On the third landing attempt, something exploded.
There was an explosion - I wouldn't say that it was inside the plane, it was outside.
Where I was sitting, the cover next to me flew off. I took the lifejacket, and I saw, there was a hole in the jacket - a piece of shrapnel had pierced it.
After this explosion, right between my legs - somewhere there - this piece of shrapnel flew in and pierced the jacket right through.”

The witness testimony
It tried to land multiple times and was hit in Kazakhstan.
So, what happened?
So, what happened?
🇷🇺🇰🇿🇦🇿 THEORY ON PLANE TRAGEDY:
Witness testimony and flight data shows it happened over Kazakhstan after repeated landing attempts, hence it can’t be Russia nor Ukraine that shot it down.
Important:
1) The plane flew to Grozny in Russia but had to divert to Kazakhstan due to fog.
2) It tried to land multiple times in Kazakhstan
3) On 3rd or so attempt it was hit (or an explosion happened)
4) About at the same time a Ukranian drone strike was carried out on Russia, which was not too far away.
-> My bet is that Kazakh air defense made a mistake and hit it. But I want to empathize, that’s just a speculation based on the current evidence I complied.
Let’s wait for more data.

He says the plane was hit in Chechnya, hence it was Russian air defense.
There was a drone attack at this time, so the air defense could go wrong.

🇦🇿🇷🇺🇰🇿 Azerbaijan says it was Russian missile.
Azerbaijani government sources have exclusively confirmed to Euronews on Thursday that a Russian surface-to-air missile caused the Azerbaijan Airlines plane crash in Aktau on Wednesday.
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.

Looks like EuroNews copy pasted a report from local news channel and said it was “government sources”
Technically Azerbaijani officials would not leak to EuroNews but rather to Turkish or eastern media like Anadalou.
Hence the EuroNews claim is just a copy paste (can’t still be true)
