Can anyone here (Kulverstukas?) pinpoint the accident site with a latitude/longitude, or a screen shot of Google Maps/Earth?
The initial reports stated it was "in the vicinity of the village. Argunovo, Ramensky district, Moscow region", which is close to where the Flight Radar 24 track ended. There are a couple of candidate villages of that name in the vicinity of the end of the track, located at 55.284126, 38.393218 and 55.348870, 38.486665, though I suspect it is the former, which is much closer to the end of the flight track.
I have done a visual search of the topography of both areas in Google Maps satellite view, comparing them with the UAV video above (thanks to Kulverstukas), but have been unable to match features to locate the accident site. Admittedly, the current heavy snow cover doesn't help with such a visual search
Any ideas for a precise location? Just curious.
LATER EDIT: I think I have now found the precise spot: 55.299086, 38.403529. Curiosity satisfied.
