AZERBAIJAN AIRLINES CRASH: POSSIBLE AIR DEFENSE FIRE INVOLVEMENT
Emerging evidence suggests the Azerbaijan Airlines flight that crashed near Aktau this morning may have been hit by air defense (AD) fire.
The incident coincided with a reported Ukrainian drone attack on Grozny, where the flight was scheduled to land.
Survivors described failed landing attempts in Grozny before hearing an explosion, sparking speculation about external interference.
Investigations are ongoing to determine if the crash was linked to active air defenses responding to the drone activity.

All the videos of the Azerbaijan Airlines flight showing the damage show holes in the wreckage have entry holes on the port side and exit holes on the starboard side, likely with a slight angle from below.
