At the 36th minute of the flight Cpt instructed the crew to set QNH=1007 hPa and began to descend.
At 3:03:35 (45 minute of the flight) was performed right turn MK = 342° in order to get to "reserve" fire (up to 3:04:40 flight was performed in automatic control mode, then automatic height stabilization was disabled and from 3:07:10 flight was in manual height mode). Sine then flight was performed on Hg = 200-100 m, the crew reports that ground visibility was only "directly under" or none. From 3:06:27 (48 minute of the flight) and to the end of CVR/FDR recording (55 minute of the flight) for ~ 7 minutes, repeatedly recorded height warning "PUSH UP" and "GROUND AHEAD"
...
At 3:11:52 (Navigator report at 03:12 of the target range 5 km) Cpt decided on further descend, flight parameters recorded were: V = 345 km/h, MK = 190° Hb = 1000 m, Hg = 210 m, max height of the hill, located directly on the flight path at a distance of ~ 5 km, was 945 m.
At 3:12:24 navigator informed of the target distance of 3.5 km, Cpt continued descend.
