Russian media reported that a passenger plane was dodging Syrian missiles

88

A320 plane belonging to the Russian company Nord Wind, which flew from Egypt to Kazan, was allegedly subjected to a rocket attack. The liner is not damaged, no one on board was hurt. Information about the incident was officially confirmed by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation. However, experts do not believe that they really were rockets.

Previously reported by the Interfax news agency, citing its own sources. Two ground-to-air missiles were fired on a passenger plane carrying 167 people, of which 8 are crew members.

It was alleged that the attack was specifically directed against the aircraft, but it is not yet known whether the attackers knew that the aircraft belonged to a Russian airline. At the same time, according to Irina Shchegolkova, the press secretary of the Federal Agency for Tourism, passengers and pilots saw bright flashes, but they are not sure that it was shelling.

“The plane made its flight over the mountainous territory of Syria and one of the pilots noticed flashes below, after which it was decided to switch to a higher flight level just in case. The incident was in the morning, after which the plane landed, no damage was found on it, ”said Irina Tyurina, press secretary of the Russian Union of Travel Industry.

The outbreaks were observed at an altitude of 8 thousand meters above sea level, and the plane climbed to an altitude of 10 thousand. Later it landed at the destination airport on a schedule. Syrian ground services did not receive attack reports from pilots.

Currently, the Russian Foreign Ministry is clarifying the information received with the Syrian authorities.

Vladimir Gerasimov, Honored Pilot of Russia and Flight Safety Specialist, told RT that passenger liners "are not very maneuverable, they usually shoot planes either from the side or from above, the pilot could not see the missiles." In his opinion, it is simply impossible to evade combat missiles: “The crew of a passenger plane simply cannot see what is behind it. And the fact that flies towards - so it is double speed. There is nothing you can not do. As for the outbreaks, it could be thunderstorms, but we must look at the weather. ”

            or it can launch a bombing strike on the positions of the militants, for sure we have intelligence data on the positions of the militants. I think Assad will not mind, for one we will help him, if only there is an excuse.

              If only for clusters of terrorists in Syria. But only this will already mean our intervention. And the country's leadership adheres to the position of non-interference in internal affairs. As for air escort, the country's leadership, unfortunately, is easier to ban flights there than to escort.

        At night, this topic was a bit "gnawed" here:


        Hello dear! Yesterday, a little bit of "Netaviaspashely" "swooped down" on you, so at least here I will stand up for you, because. you absolutely correctly told everything (about the rules of flights), just not everything is "in the know", therefore .... !!!

        1. All flights of Civil Aviation around the world are carried out by the MVL (local air lines) and BT (air routes, which are divided into Domestic and International).
        Differences between MVL and VT only in height and width from the axis of the route.

        2. Therefore, even though the "charters" all fly only according to the Flight Plan (within the application) and nothing else.
        Moreover, the entrance to the airspace of another state is strictly according to the place and time and in the strictly indicated corridor, in all other cases it is already a violator of airspace.

        3. All VT and MVL are marked by AWP or VOR / DME.

        4. When flying inside, it is allowed to "cut off" the route, but only with the permission of RU ES ATC, and then, again, only on VT and MVL.
        But for international affairs this is not practiced, exceptions are only special cases in flight !.

        5. Military (combat aviation) also flies on the established Routes and Flight Plans, which are summarized in the List .... which is agreed with the Citizens.
        But for the military it is easier to “cut off” or “cut off” somewhere, but still within the limits of the “permissible”.

        And the intersection of VT and MVL of citizens also occurs in strictly allotted corridors and with strict restrictions on location and height!

        When conducting exercises and events for Citizens, a Regime is introduced that imposes a ban on flights in certain areas, so everyone often (especially earlier) experienced ... "delays" of flights (for various reasons, from M / U to no plane arrival.) in fact, the weather is a million in a million and the plane has been parked for a long time) wink

          Rosaviatsia advises to stop flights over Syria


          And most importantly, the Syrian ground services did not receive shelling reports from the pilots - so the order for disu is obvious

          In addition, if there is no self-liquidator, where are the flashes seen by the crew? The rocket simply crashes by a blank back to the ground.

              you are wrong. even though the seeker has captured the target, but at a certain range the steering cars just stop working, the rocket still goes in the direction of the target, but it can only be reached by miracle.

                Maybe you meant that with a drop in rocket speed due to fuel production and a drop in traction, rocket rudder engines lose their effectiveness and aerodynamic qualities? wink

                  And that too.
                  I will explain about steering cars. For example, rocket steering machines, the 2K12 KUB, operate due to compressed air, the supply of which is unlimited and provides missile control in the affected area determined by the technical characteristics. A rocket, of course, can fly further, but as air is consumed, it is controlled worse.
                  In new missiles, either electricity is used or the squib is burning (the principle is the same as with compressed air), but in this case the resource is not infinite.

                      Well ... MANPADS I passed ... by.
                      I will say this. GOS for electricity needs electricity. The onboard source is not unlimited. Power decreases over time, respectively, and the sensitivity of the seeker decreases - hence the decrease in the probability of being hit.
                      As far as I remember, the squib burns there, the gases rotate the dynamo (like on a bicycle), the dynamo gives current, the exhaust gases go to the steering machine. The squib burned out - there is no electricity, no control.
                      All this works for about 15-17 seconds (maybe less). Then the rocket makes a candle and self-destructs. Well, self-liquidator is disabled, and to hell with it - the seeker does not work, the wheels do not steer. An uncontrolled blank flies - the probability of getting there - the farther the closer to zero.
                      Theoretically, if you shoot after it, with the self-liquidator not turned off, the MANPADS missile after the set time has elapsed could go up and explode. But at the same time it is unlikely that they would have noticed this on the plane, because the explosion would have emanated somewhere from behind and from below. No one would have noticed the start and trace of the rocket.

            Answer: it all depends on the sensitivity of the heat finder and the rarefying ability and the possibility of PRD for radar guidance.

            With all this, do not forget that 8 is according to the standard (i.e., at a pressure of 000 mmHg), and the relief height (mountains and hills) so it turns out that in fact H is true on the plane, the target is 760-3 thousand meters in total!

            Therefore, that "beyond the river", that in the "Czech Republic" Tu-22s worked only from a great height (while at a certain point they "got 2-3 thousand meters" .. just in case bully )
            Well, with the exception of the first month, they "walked" there at all altitudes and small and PMV.

The height of the upper boundary of MANPADS from 4000 to 6000. They went to 8000. Vague doubts gnaw me ... that they are trying to slip us another misinformation. In addition, even among the spirits there are no blockheads who want to sit on top of the mountain with MANPADS and catch passengers.

    SAM would have left no chance for the aircraft. However, they are mainly located with the regular army, not with the terrorists. Sense of shelling a civilian plane? Error? Then why is he not shot down?

            Civil Aviation Pilot Who Wished to Remain Unknown, Madrid, Spain:

            “The airplane in the film is similar in model to the MD-80 I fly on. Is the whitewacker trick possible? Only if you are drunk or under cocaine! This is pure madness. Theoretically, of course, you can turn the plane over like that. But not in terms of flight and, of course, not with a full cabin of passengers. There was a case when one pilot demonstrated Boeing to a company-buyer and made a barrel on it. He was instantly fired.
            What happens for drunkenness during a flight? Deprivation of a pilot’s license. Either suspension from flights for a long time, but this is if you are very lucky. " drinks

              Any pilot can have his own opinion, but ... certain figures, which seem to be "scary" and "terrible", can be performed with almost negligible overloads. and for large cars, including passenger cars, one of the most important criteria is the operation of the fuel automation. and specifically, pumping pumps, the type of which, installed on citizens, do not like to work "booty up", as a result of which the engines can simply "stand up", and here there is a bunch of "drop dead" problems!

If you estimate the angle of view, then from what distance did you need to shoot for the pilot to notice (taking into account the aircraft speed)? And if they were shooting from MANPADS, I take into account the aircraft's flight altitude, it is difficult to notice the flash. I'm not an expert, but it still looks strange.

    “The crew of a passenger plane simply cannot see what is behind it. And what flies towards is double speed. You won’t have time to do anything here. As for the outbreaks, it could be thunderous peals, but we must look what the weather was like. ”

    Indeed, what can be seen from such a height, except perhaps the serial number of the rocket.
    passengers and pilots saw bright flashes, but are not sure if it was shelling.

    1. Passenger aircraft are not equipped with a warning system.
    2. It is technically impossible to divert the plane from the missile, especially from the surface-to-air class with infrared or laser guidance, EVEN if the missile was built in the 70s and 80s.
    3. The plane does not go at supersonic sound.
    4. The speed of the rocket exceeds the speed of the aircraft.
    5. Pilots could not know about the approach of the rocket and as a result instantly gain altitude, which is also technically not possible. This is not a fighter for you.
    6. Missiles of "air-to-surface" class during the explosion are scattered into small fragments. This is a specially designed charge.
    7. If it were true and the missiles were only true, how pilots learned about the fired
    missiles that do not take off above 4000 m?

    I can believe that the missiles are true, and the whole story is embellished under the good old fairy tale about the hero-pilots.

    As a source in power structures in Moscow told Interfax, rockets fired in the direction of the airliner exploded a few hundred meters from the fuselage. “At the time of the shelling, the liner was at an altitude of about 9800 meters, while the first rocket exploded at an altitude of 9200 meters, the other - 8900 meters,” the source said. According to him, after the shelling, air traffic controllers gave the “go-ahead” to the crew in an emergency to raise the plane another almost 1000 meters higher. “Thus, the crew was able to save the car and people from flying shrapnel,” the source added.

    A selection of curious and reliable (!) Radio conversations between the pilots of the airliners and the control tower controllers.

    Tower: - To avoid noise, deviate, please, by 45 degrees to the right.
    Pilot: - What kind of noise can we create here, at an altitude of 35000 feet?
    Tower: - Roar if your 737 collides with the 727 coming in front!

    Tower: - Are you an 320 or 340 airbus?
    Pilot: - Of course, A340!
    HSE: - Then, will you be kind enough to start the other two engines before starting?

    Pilot: - Good morning, Bratislava.
    HSE: - Good morning. For your information, says Vienna.
    Pilot: - I'm going to land in Bratislava.
    HSE: - Vienna is really here.
    Pilot: - Vienna?
    Tower: - Yes
    Pilot: - But why? We need to go to Bratislava.
    Tower: - OK! Then stop the approach and fly to the left.

    Tower to the pilot, who made a painfully hard landing: - Landing should not remain a secret. Passengers should feel without fear that they are already downstairs.
    Pilot: - Ah, nothing. They always applaud anyway.

    The pilot "Alitalia", whose operation of half of the instruments is paralyzed by a lightning strike:
    - We have almost everything failed. Nothing works. Even our altimeter shows nothing ...
    Pilot of another liner:
    - Shut up and die like a man!



    Pilot: - We have little fuel. I urgently ask you to order.
    HSE: - Where are you located? I do not have you on the screen.
    Pilot: - We are standing on the 2 lane and have been waiting for the refueler for ages.

    HSE: - Do you have problems?
    Pilot: - Lost my compass.
    HSE: - No wonder. So, as you fly, you can lose all the instruments.

    Tower: - After boarding, please park on taxiways Alpha7, Alpha 5, Whiskey 2, Delta 1 and Osсar 2.
    Pilot: - And where is all this? We are not oriented here.
    HSE: - I do not know, I myself am only the second day here

    Pilot: - I ask permission to take off
    Tower: - Sorry, we do not have your flight plan. Where do you intend to fly?
    Pilot: - Like every Monday, to Salzburg.
    HSE: - But today is Tuesday!
    Pilot: - What? Then today is our day off.

    Pilot: - What, there is no escort car (Follow-me-car)?
    Tower: - No. See for yourself how you get to the parking lot.

    Tower: - Height and location?
    Pilot: - I have eighty meters, I'm sitting in front of the right.

    Tower to a private pilot: - And who is on board?
    Pilot: - A pilot, two passengers and a dog.
    The tower, after a rather hard landing of the plane: - I suppose a dog was sitting at the helm?

    Tower: - Do you have enough fuel or not?
    Pilot: - Yes
    HSE: - What, yes?
    Pilot: - Yes, sir !!!

    Tower: - Please tell us your estimated time of arrival.
    Pilot: - Hmmmmmmm ... I would be well suited for Tuesday.

    Personally present in the cockpit, flight Noyabrsk - Domodedovo, Tu-154, Tyumenaviatrans, winter 1997 of the year:
    Pilot (turning from MKAD to Domodedovo): where to land?

    Right at the rate, the Domodedovo terminal is getting closer and closer ... Everyone is silent ...
    Tower, unexpectedly: quickly, to the left!

    The maneuver was incomparable. If I were sitting in the tail, I would surely have snapped.

    Terrorists showed missiles that shot at a Russian plane

    A video was published in which terrorists opposing the government forces of Bashar al-Assad transported the Soviet missile system SNR-125M a day before the shelling of a Russian aircraft.
    The complex is located on a truck and incorporates two missiles. However, specialists know that to launch these missiles requires guidance with the help of a radar, which was not visible on the video.
    Recall that the A-320 plane of the Russian charter airline NordWind Airlines, which operated the Sharm el-Sheikh-Kazan flight, was bombarded over Syrian territory on April 29. The missiles reached an altitude of 9,2 km and exploded a few hundred meters from the passenger liner.
    Perhaps it was the lack of a radar installation among the rebels that saved the lives of passengers, since in normal mode the CHP-125M complex in 100% of cases knocks down a similar target.
