This is the ATC, of course.
Thank you in the name of wide aviation community.
But also the pilot has to cooperate by reading back the altitude.
If he fails to do so, the ATC, in normal case of Russian military a/c
approaching, calls "go around', or "abort".
And atco didn't required read back of QFE,as it is written in rules. If he insisted they will probably refer to correct altimeter settings and tragedy would be avoided. That is direct "idea" of such and similar rules. To prevent mistakes. And that is may thesis fro the very beginning. If ATCO follow published rules tragedy wouldn't happen.
So what are definite mistake of ATCO.:
-No identified procedures,(reghardless idea of transfer of indentity which I believe that is not published for those airports) .
-He didn't insist on read back
-He gave go around instruction too late.
All those issue are based on available transcript of communications between twr and a/c and may differ from real situation.
And it is quite visible that rules in Russian military ATC operatiuon are safe,Practice is something different,so that is the reason why I said that 40% of mistake were in bad military ATC SYSTEM in RUSSIA.
