Military expert Oleksandr Kovalenko analysed the first photos from the crash site of the Russian Il-76 plane in the Belgorod region.

Analysis of the Il-76 crash site in the Belgorod region

Kovalenko draws attention to the fact that there are no signs of scattered bodies on the field.

Let me remind you that the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation, immediately after the Il-76 crash, launched a fake that the plane was transporting 65 Ukrainian POWs for exchange, although prisoners are not transported by airplanes! Moreover, according to the statement of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation, there were only three escorts for 65 prisoners!

According to the Russian version, the expert emphasises that there are 74 people on board together with the crew, but they are not a single body on the field. This means that there were six crew members on board in the cockpit.

It was also known that the plane cargoed the anti-aircraft-guided missiles for the S-300 air defence system.

This version is confirmed by the fact that nothing was left of the plane after the fall, and parts of its fuselage were scattered over the field, that is, after the fall and hitting the ground, there was also a powerful detonation of the ammunition.

Russian Telegram channels report that an Il-76 military plane has crashed in the region.

"Suspilne" reports that the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine cannot confirm that the Ukrainian Defence Forces hit the plane, as "the information is still being clarified."

There are no official statements from the Ukrainian authorities regarding the downing of the plane.
