TASS: black box data indicates an external influence on the Il-76. Earlier, Russian President Vladimir Putin said that the plane was hit in the Belgorod region by either the French air defense system or the American Patriot complex.
He called it obvious that the aircraft was shot down, and added that experts continue to analyze the contents of the black boxes. The data excludes all possible versions of the crash and confirms that the flight was subject to external influence, the agency’s source said.
