    Bold headline for having zero evidence.

    Air missile accident emerges as probable cause of crash tragedy

    According to Azerbaijan Airlines, 37 passengers were Azerbaijani citizens. There were also 16 Russian nationals, six Kazakhstani and three Kyrgyzstani citizens.

    An Azerbaijan Airlines crashed on Wednesday morning in the city of Aktau in Kazakhstan, killing 38 of the 67 on board the Embraer 190, according to officials.

    Euronews can reveal that official sources linked to the crash investigation said that while nearing Groznyy, the flight’s destination, surviving passengers heard an explosion followed by what looked like shrapnel hitting the plane, and entering the fuselage.

    The information obtained by Euronews can be correlated with a news report from Azerbaijan-based international news channel AnewZ which quotes a Russian military blogger who claims that “the damage to the aircraft suggests that plane may have been accidentally struck by an air-defence missile system (SAM)”.

    Groznyy is heavily defended as Kadyrov’s Chechen fighters are extremely important to the Kremlin and a high-value target to the Ukrainians which may explain an extreme action by Russian air defence action toward air activity above the city, as the Azerbaijan Airlines aircraft was approaching to land as scheduled.

    If confirmed, this tragedy would mark a strong resemblance with the 2014 downing of the MH17 airliner by Russian-backed forces, also with a SAM missile.

    It got hit by the “10 different sized calibers” gun. It’s a new state of the art Russian weapon, also known as the gravel cannon.

    Those aren’t bullet holes.

    Thankfully the Russians have hired a surveyor from Wyoming as a public defender!! Might want to get him a new forensic specialist though unless birds now have armor piercing beaks!

    Does Russia have a missile/anti air gun called a bird now?

    If that was a flock of birds there would be blood.
