Nothing suggest tactical flying

They (swedish NTSB)) now say that they at this point, dont have anything that suggest`s tactical flying.

The information the commission have gathered so far say that the hercules didn t fly low.

tactical flying means that autopilot is off and they follow the terrain to avoid radar.

Again, I have a few questions.

Why did the plane hit the mountain side so far up?
Why does it look like the aircraft was in a climb before impact?
From where was the plane coming from with regard to impact site?
What altitude does the plane seem to have been before entering this valley?
what speed does the plane seem to have before impact?
Does the weather have anything to do with the crash?

Why do I have e feeling that they are focusing on autopilot, and approch to kiruna, holding, etc...etc...?
There are meteorologist talking about wind conditions, there are director of operations in a company talking also about the wind conditions at Kebnekaise. I really dont know if that is relevant here.

personally I believe we have to look at the crash site. where is it?. why did the plane hit right there? why didnt they hit any of the other walls? why didnt the plane hit the top of kebnekaise?

I believe the answers lies with regard to the crash site.
