Media: Expertise Expert excluded the version of the attack on board the Tu-154

After the examination of the fragments of the Tu-154, which fell in the Black Sea, the investigation excluded the version of the attack or combat defeat with a rocket from the list of possible causes of the disaster. It is reported by "Kommersant" with reference to a source close to the investigation.

The experts of the FSB experts checked on the presence of traces of explosives of the wreckage of the aircraft, personal items of passengers, baggage, humanitarian loads, armchairs and pieces of internal fuselage sheathing. They also appreciated damage to the aircraft. As a result, not a single factor was found that would indicate a terrorist attack or shelling of the plane with a rocket from the ground.

Earlier, the head of the flight security service of the Russian Armed Forces, Sergei Baynetov, stated that the version of the attack on board the aircraft was not excluded, but this could not be an explosion, but a certain mechanical impact. He also said that the crew commander managed to report an emergency on board.

The Tu-154 plane of the Ministry of Defense, heading from Sochi to Syria, collapsed to the Black Sea on December 25. On board were 92 people - artists of the Aleksandrov ensemble, military personnel, journalists and head of the Fair Assistance Foundation Elizabeth Glinka. All of them died.
