Sideslyp,
who are you?
Came here to post just one political opinion?
Are you a pilot, a specialist?
I live in Poland, I am Polish (not polish), I was trained by military pilots,
I know the country, I know the military pilots mentality and the
structures and procedures.
It would be nice to have another case of heroism, another
heroic victim of foreign conspiracy and ambush.
But the truth is simple and pathetic.
Error over error, over error, starting with training, then procedures
and ending with the typical Polish "jakoś to będzie".
(so or so, it will work out...)
There were three independent systems registering flight parameters,
Russian black box, Polish recorder and US GPWS.
They were read and analysed independently in Russia, Poland and US.
What else do you want?
All of them delivered consistent and conclusive data on the flight
path and parameters.
It was a pathetic CFIT, classic case.
And yes, I am a Polish patriot, I love my country and people,
but it doesn't mean I must close my eyes to the obvious truth.
