The pilot called the cause of the crash of Yevgeny Prigozhin’s plane

And compared the situation with the death of Artem Borovik

The nature of the fall of the wreckage of the Embraer Legacy 600 business jet, on which, according to preliminary data, the military leadership of the Wagner PMC – Yevgeny Prigozhin, Dmitry Utkin and Valery Chekalov, crashed, suggests that the plane experienced a strong physical impact. So considers a civilian pilot with 40 years of experience Vladimir Salnikov.

“There is a video on the web, taken from the ground, which shows how the plane randomly falls without the right wing,” Vladimir Salnikov told MK. “Such damage indicates some kind of powerful physical impact. Something similar could have come from an explosion on board.

The tail unit was found three kilometers from the crash site. This means that the spread of debris is very large. If the plane crashes in an emergency, it crashes on the ground intact, and from the impact of its fragments scatter within a radius of 100-150 meters, a maximum of 200 meters.

And when the debris scatter for 3-5 kilometers, this means that it began to collapse even in the air. That is, there was definitely a physical impact. For example, if someone put something on board.

– If something explodes on board such a small plane, did people have any chance of escaping? Does it blow him to pieces?

– Not in this case. Prigozhin’s plane was flying at the 250th echelon. This, roughly speaking, is about 8500 meters. The plane was already “inflated”, that is, the corresponding pressure was created inside the cabin, taking into account the rarefied air outside. Under these conditions, if there is a sharp depressurization, then all living things on board die.

In general, this incident reminds me of the Yak-40 crash at Sheremetyevo on March 9, 2000. Then all nine people who were on board died, including the president of the Sovershenno Sekretno holding Artem Borovik. Great weather, the plane takes off, gains altitude, and then suddenly turns over, does somersaults and crashes against the lane. Obviously, someone tried to make that plane crash, and the same thing happens here. Very sorry people.
