It does not indicate the direction of these winds. Maybe it can be derived from other data?
Should a sudden wind change occur during the missed approach, flying at clean speed up to possible even FL080, this could've possibly caused a stall on a wingtip, then (pitch) up and (wing) over is possible with this design when one one wing is affected.
Not saying this has happened, but with a speed of 197 it appears logical and thus possible as the clean speed for the aircraft is not much higher then this at the weights flown.
This type of weather situation would not allow for any kind of "sudden wind change". There was no thunderstorm involved. Just frontal zone with everyday windshear on approach. It is winter in Russia, not May in DFW. The attempts to imagine some weather mystery are misleading. As posted earlier, a situation like the one is being dealt with worldwide dozens of time daily. Everything may have ended differently under a clear full moon sky (which is speculative), but rain, wind and temperatures involved have not been special at any time around the sad event.
