#J28243 took off from Baku at 03:55 UTC time and was flying to Grozny. The aircraft was exposed to strong GPS jamming which made the aircraft transmit bad ADS-B data. At 04:40 UTC we lost the ADS-B signal. At 06:07 UTC we picked up the ADS-B signal again before it crashed at 06:28 UTC.

A data table comparing flight hours of South African Air Force Gripen aircraft between 2013 and 2022. Shows serial numbers 3901-3926, with significant increases in flight hours for many aircraft, particularly 3908 and 3909 which logged nearly 1000 hours each.

In 2022 South Africa’s Minister of Defence released Gripen lifetime flying hour data for the first time since 2013. At the time it went unnoticed.

I’ve compared it wjth the 2013 numbers, and a grim picture: Of 26 aircraft, 7 haven’t flown at all since 2013.

Zacznijmy od tego, że PD-8, który ma zastąpić SaM-146 na SSJ, jest wciąż opóźniony i certyfikacji mu brakuje. MS-21 o ponad 5 ton cięższy niż zakładano, a S7 musi się ratować Tu-214 produkowanymi w tempie kroplówkowym. Rosyjskie lotnictwo cywilne jest na prostej drodze do zapaści, którą sami 1/2
