i can’t quote it as the site is playing up again on this thread on my iPad, I wish they’d stop using” soviet era aircraft “ It’s a Ukrainian built aircraft.
was it on fire before the crash?
again nothing to do with the war.

I'm not a fan of Sky News, but I think in this instance we can cut them a bit of slack - the accident aircraft was built in 1971 and spent its first 20+ years flying for Aeroflot.

Sorry guys, but this is another thread drift. Other than being an Ukrainian registered aircraft:
- It was operating for a civilian operator
- It's operation was in no way connected to the war going on in the Ukraine.
- There's a thread already running on this accident in the Accidents and Close Calls forum.
The mods may disagree with me, in which case fair enough, but I see no connection between the Ukrainian-Russian conflict and this accident.

Totally agree, I said above nothing to do with the war, I wish people would stop adding stuff when they hear the words Ukraine and Soviet.
You are of course free to assert otherwise, but until we see the results of the investigation, that's all it is - an assertion.

Are you being serious ? The difference between a mixed load of mortar shells and land -mines* in an airplane -crash ? What do you want - neutron-microscopic analysis of the difference in explosive effect ? Just what is the point you are trying to make ?

Dave just commented that the link NutLoose posted didn't mention mortars shells but other sources said landimines. Then you're off on one challenging him about what's the difference!
