They've found the black boxes, reported to be "damaged". Not surprising considering the size of the hole it made.

With all the Pprune members on here hopefully somebody can post a link to some wreckage photos. From the grainy stuff in the local papers here I have a keen interest in looking more closely at the rather roundish part of the rear end of an engine laying in a field.

the BBC's statement that somehow US sanctions can be linked to this crash is UTTERLY outrageous!
Nothing has stopped Airbus from from providing equipment, and in a market with little competition either.
Maintenance of Russian-built aircraft has been notorious for bogus parts provided by shady suppliers who have become proficient in forging tech docs
Last estimates of the unapproved parts market involved a figure in excess of $1.5bn US (parts under FAA jurisdiction).

This looks like a turbine case with a liberated turbine disc. (note the flower petal fractures around the circumference).
Lots happening during a prang like this...simply an observation, not a conclusion.
