If this report is true (not fully believing it until the official reports come out) it seems the Captain wanted to counter act the windshear/turbulence by climbing aggressively with full power while performing the GA (apparently pulled back too much) . The climb rate was so great (light a/c, flaps retracted) , the FO counter acted the Captain's decision in disagreement and the a/c was given conflicting commands and stalled. Seems like the Captain wanted to make a 3rd attempt manually and was frustrated (anyone would be)...question is did they attempt stall recovery and failed with TOGA thrust set the whole way after they realized the change in g-force? Pretty scary situation...Any thoughts guys?
Yes. Don’t buy a used car from a Russian news agency.

Unless the FR24 data is very wrong, it shows a loss of control but it is difficult to see a stall in there, in fact quite the opposite. For reasons yet to be revealed it seems there was a pitch control issue, be it self-induced or system failure related.

The reporters for this TV network look like they are in a kind of Russian-English-Russian feedback loop involving this site and random bits of aeroplane manuals. I think we’ve exhausted most avenues of speculation and are awaiting the FDR output...
