Russian authorities predict the inevitability of a large number of air crashes during 2023, thanks to this, the Kremlin wants to achieve from countries West of lifting sanctions in the field of air transportation.
According to Channel 24 sources in the Ukrainian special services, the reports of specialized specialists to the leadership of the Ministry of Transport indicate that the resource of using aircraft without proper ground service is actually exhausted. Subsequent flights of almost the entire flight crew of civil airlines will inevitably lead to a number of accidents with a large number of victims.
However, the Russian government has decided that reducing the number of flights or suspending flights altogether until the situation improves will be a “fatal mistake”. So the airlines have actually made it mandatory to carry out flights despite the danger to people.
Aircraft crashes will become the norm
- < li>After the imposition of sanctions restricting the supply of spare parts for aircraft maintenance to the Russian market, the Federal Air Transport Agency did not take even a third of the necessary measures for the safety of passengers.
- Russian officials and owners of private airlines decided to continue earning, despite the inability to maintain of his fleet in working order.
- Back in June-July 2022, the Russian leadership came to the false conclusion that the industry would be able to survive on “cannibalism”, that is, by disassembling aircraft for spare parts to continue the work of the newest aircraft. Officials considered that the cancellation of air communication with Russia by a number of civilized countries, as well as the theft of leasing aircraft from foreign companies, could provide the Russians with the necessary number of donors.
- However, the reality turned out to be different. Since one way or another, the owners of Russian enterprises providing air transportation services had to save a lot on servicing the entire flight crew.
- In addition, the situation was significantly worsened by pressure from the military leadership of the state, which obliged private carriers. work for the needs of the Ministry of Defense.
- So the load on the aircraft remained somewhere at the pre-war level, and they became half as likely to service and repair them. In addition, broken parts began to be replaced by no longer new ones, and also without the control of manufacturers.
All these factors instantly led to an increase in the number of incidents with Russian aircraft, which the Kremlin media tries not to talk about. In 2022 alone, the accident rate in Russian civil aviation increased by at least 20%, but there were no serious accidents. However, Russian officials call this an accident, because the crash of planes under these circumstances is a matter of time, because “cannibalism” is not able to save the entire industry.
A peculiar illustration of the inability to adequately operate aircraft by the aggressor country is the fall of the Su-34 in Yeysk. A board with full ammunition that flew into a residential high-rise building shortly before the accident was under repair. However, due to the lack of quality parts, the engineers were not able to carry out all the work adequately. The situation in civil aviation in Russia is even worse, because if the invaders are able to produce at least some spare parts for Su and MiG, the same cannot be said about Boeing, Airbus and aircraft of other foreign corporations. At the same time, the use of aircraft for transportation without the possibility of servicing them is a cynical crime on the part of the Russian government, but officials, apparently, do not care at all.
So soon the fall of Russian aircraft may well become the norm, demonstrating the beginning 2023, when there were at least 10 accidents in the first 10 days of the year. However, it was only thanks to the skill of the pilots and non-critical breakdowns that the victims were avoided.
The Kremlin wants to blackmail the world with a large number of dead
It is clear that all relevant Russian specialists are aware of the situation with poor-quality maintenance of civil aviation aircraft, but no one is going to take at least any measures to ensure the safety of passengers. After all, Moscow wants to use the problem of pressure on Europe and the United States in its traditional approach. The Kremlin's intent is to blame the Western countries for the accidents. Like, “look at the death of civilians provoked by the sanctions, give spare parts.” Moreover, the Russian government hopes that one of the aircraft that provides international transportation will suffer a catastrophe. Then Russian diplomats will try to put pressure on manufacturers, the States and the EU in order to withdraw the aviation industry from restrictions “for the sake of the lives of foreigners.”
In addition to Russians, citizens of those countries that have not restricted air traffic with the invaders are also at risk . At the same time, the possibility of deliberate damage to aircraft by Russian special services cannot be ruled out in order to create such disasters and obtain concessions from Putin's criminal government for “reasons of humanity”.
