The fact that Yak's PIC ignored a go around from ATC (twice to my knowledge) was already mentioned here.

According to MAK the plane was 15 m below rwy threshold when it struck tree

Then it appears PRMG got dismantled when the military moved.
Confirmed on the Smolensk forum by a former Il-76 pilot from XUBS. A PRMG system was removed from the airbase when the Il-76 unit was disbanded.
By the way, the same pilot wrote, that when landing, the Yak-40 crossed the rwy threshold quite high.


Alice,
do we know for sure, which system was available on 10.04.2010 - RSP-6M2 or RSP-10MN?
