The evidence seems quite convincing already, that an Azerbaijani passenger jet planning to land in Grozny was instead downed by Russian surface to air attacks.

Russian air defences mistook the Embraer for a Ukrainian drone, and engaged it with unidentified systems. Surviving passengers said that on the third attempt to land in Grozny, there were some explosions outside the aircraft and that the flight was then diverted across the Caspian to Aktau in Kazakhstan. Passenger video from inside the aircraft showed signs of shrapnel damage, and a woman passenger suffered a leg wound. As the aircraft crossed the Caspian, the crew began to encounter control problems – which may have been the result of hydraulic failure.

Videos of flight J2-8243 show a struggle to maintain altitude and trim, after making it all the way across the sea, as pilots lost control in a circling pattern just a mile or so short of the Aktau runway.

After violently crashing, up-close videos show obvious anti-aircraft-looking shrapnel damage to the wings and fuselage.

All passengers likely would have survived if the jet had been immediately cleared to land in Grozny, instead of tragically diverted so far away across the sea.

In related news, North Korean soldiers enlisted to fight for Russia have been shooting in the wrong direction and killing Russians.

While engaged in combat in Kursk Oblast, a group of North Korean soldiers opened fire on members of the Chechen Akhmat unit fighting for Russia, HUR reported via its official Telegram channel. The attack allegedly killed eight Russian soldiers.

An update from the Azerbaijani president President Ilham Aliyev very diplomatically suggests a criminal investigation of the plane crash have started:

According to the information provided to me, the AZAL airline plane, flying on the Baku-Grozny route, changed its course due to worsening weather conditions and began heading toward Aktau airport, where the crash occurred during landing. There are videos of the plane crash available in the media and on social networks, and everyone can watch them. However, the reasons for the crash are not yet known to us. There are various theories, but I believe it is premature to discuss them. The matter must be thoroughly investigated. A criminal case has been launched by the Prosecutor General’s Office…

This is an example of ongoing failure in the crash “avoidance” technology promoted since 2016 by the Tesla CEO.

The incident, which happened at 7:58 p.m., occurred at 532 U.S 65 and resulted in the death of Michael A. Dickey, 51, of Greenbrier.

According to the report, two cars — including Dickey in a 2023 Ford — were travelling north on U.S. 65. Dickey was driving in the No. 1 traffic lane, and a 2023 Tesla was in the No. 2 traffic lane, Arkansas State Police said. Dickey’s Ford entered the No. 2 lane and struck the right side of the Tesla, the report stated.

Following the collision, the Ford rotated counterclockwise and crossed over the center turn lane into the southbound lanes, according to the report.

Dickey was killed because of the Tesla crash, which begs the obvious question why it wasn’t avoided as marketed.

A Tesla has been used in what appears to be a disruption on urban critical infrastructure.

A Boston police cruiser and a Tesla crashed Monday night, causing long delays on the Green Line’s B Branch because of a wrecked SUV on the train tracks.

Police have not yet explained whether the crash was a targeted attack. Another MA police officer recently was killed as other officers observed a Tesla driving the wrong way and didn’t immediately prevent it from crashing straight into him.

The CEO of Tesla, an infamous anti-government political extremist stoking fears of war, hasn’t yet claimed responsibility for his crashes in context of claims of building millions of centrally planned and controlled road robots that never miss their targets.

It’s unbelievable how often Tesla have been crashing head-on into traffic by driving the wrong way up an exit ramp.

A Cincinnati woman is dead and three others injured, including an officer, when police say she drove the wrong way on Ronald Reagan Highway Saturday night and hit another car head-on.

Police say it was around 11:30 p.m. when 59-year-old Terri Lynn Hayes drove up the exit ramp to Hunt Road and went the wrong way on the highway.

They say Hayes was driving the wrong way for less than a quarter-mile when her Tesla struck another car head-on, injuring two of the passengers in that vehicle.

Investigators are playing dumb, given they know a huge change from everything that has ever happened before is… Tesla “driverless” is dumb and blind.

Police are still trying to determine why Hayes would enter the highway where she did. “The entrance ramp there is well marked and we’ve never had an issue there that I’m aware of where somebody’s went the wrong way,” said Capt. Pohlman

It’s only get worse for police unless the police start to prosecute Tesla and hold the car company accountable.
