According to the interlocutor, there are no traces of fragments (previously Vladimir Putin said that the head of the PMC Wagner and his deputy found parts of a grenade in their bodies) in the bodies of the crew. In all extracts only multiple fractures appear. This means that the pilots did not receive shrapnel wounds during the explosion.
According to the source, the Investigative Committee initially had information about an “explosion inside.” This is indicated by damage to the fuselage: “it seemed to have opened from the inside and everything was clear even then, in the direction of the bent edges of the skin.” Until recently, it was believed that the damage occurred as a result of a terrorist attack on board. However, there was no signal about a specific version. Therefore, along with a terrorist attack (as was the case with the crash over the Sinai Peninsula), the investigation “considered” a technical malfunction and pilot error as the main versions of the plane crash. In reality, they were simply waiting for the go-ahead about the version. And then, quite unexpectedly, Putin came to the rescue, who announced the final version of the investigation – about cocaine and grenades.
