Aleshin, the dispatcher said that at a distance of 1.1 km (that the protocol has been fixed at 1.5 km) before issuing the order to suspend the Polish crew landed, he saw the Tu- 154 on the radar screen. In the second protocol Ryzhenko showed that at a distance of 1,5 - 1,7 km aircraft on the monitor he had not seen.
At 1.1 km, the pilot was in the ravine so the plane would have not been seen.

The first interrogation states at 1.1km (corrected to 1.5km) he saw the plane on radar before giving the order.
In the second interrogation, at 1.5km, according to the graph at Smolensk ws, the plane was below the rise at the top of the ravine and at 1.7 km the plane was above the airfield elevation.
The command Horizon 101 was given when the pilot was below the airfield elevation.
Question Vakakaaa: At 2km in your translated article, are they saying the radar is sending a warning or is it an image of the plane on the screen?
According to one of the protocols, he showed that when the aircraft was just two kilometers from the airfield runway, the indicator on the sensor of the landing radar blink.
