It’s not a Russian owned or operated craft. It was owned by an Irish company.
Here is what transponder reported - http://www.flightradar24.com/data/airplanes/ei-etj/#7d986d3
I crashed from 33,500. There are no such mountains in the area and even a theory of firing a Stinger from a helicopter falls awfully short.
It is 100% sure it can’t be a Stinger or any shoulder fired missile. Only missiles effective at that range are huge and moved by very large trucks.
It was operated by a Russian company that had a very bad reputation among its customers. Here is a googletranslated link to a collection of reviews.
“In the month of July used the services of the airline. Charter flights to Antalya from Domodedovo. All flight around the cabin, had a very strong vibration from the left engine and the sound is very uncharacteristic of his work. Scary once was. “>>>
“Do not fly by the company, life is more expensive! The company flew with a friend to Egypt 1.5 years ago - it was a wild horror! Reviewed in this regard have already left, but then my friend flew with his family and the company crossed 10 times! Also flew to Egypt during takeoff looked out the window and saw that it bounced off the plane, shaking terribly! “. >>>
“If you’re looking for thrills, adrenaline, you here. Repair engine aircraft before departure with all passengers on board - it’s aerobatics! We were supposed to fly 5 hours flight was moved to 7, then to 8.25. Delay the landing, now sit and wait when the repaired engine and, well, if repaired, without referring to the Russian “maybe.” Trap removed - cut way back. “>>>
“We put on a plane and there we sat for half an hour without any information what was happening. Then, the pilot reported that the second engine is not included due to lack of freon, we waited until tucked in the heat of 40 degrees with no air conditioning. 200 people in a closed plane! How such a thing could happen ?! “. >>>
“The flight back was detained for an hour, but it’s not so scary and frightening that when we flew aircraft engine uttered a very scary sounds, we are thrown from side to side, at some moment, the plane began to rapidly descend and all the interior began to shout from fear of children crying, someone prayed. Then the pilot apparently failed to make it out there and fall (or fall) stopped and we began to climb. When the height gained everything was normal, but the engine (or turbine) periodically roared and fell silent. When the pilot announced that we are beginning to decline at Domodedovo began the most terrible: we thrown from side to side, then we fall, we are shaking, then flew back. The aircraft started to panic! Girl sitting with two children parallel I start cross and prayers. I cried. “>>>
“We flew the family July 25 in Turkey by plane airline« MetroJet ». Even before taking off in an airplane crash that occurred some associated with electricity. Bulbs randomly blinking as lumiere. We were told that the plane technical problems, now everything is resolved and we fly. In general, what happened after 40 minutes after such “problems” to fly, of course, was not psychologically comfortable. Back flew on July 31. Flight delayed for 2 hours. First they announced that delayed the flight for an hour and then told another 20-30 minutes. What is the reason for the delay departure no one reported. (Later, in the airplane flight attendant he said, eliminating the technical problems). “ >>>
