    I can assume the following, the plane we are all talking about took off from the airport and reached the range of equipment for suppressing the operation of electronics. The plane was certainly visible on the radars of certain armed forces and it was quite easy to irradiate it with the equipment of the plane/ship. First the engines turned off, and then the communications. That is, they burned or sent the aircraft’s electronics to be rebooted. The plane fell and crashed. We will find out how the plane crashed later, but it seems to me that anyone but the airline is guilty of this crime. Communication cannot be lost after problems with the engine; the crew would have had time to say something.
    Maybe I'm wrong, but I think this was done specifically by our “colleagues” from the USA or their friends.
    Criticize.

    Why write nonsense? It is one thing to clog the operating frequencies of radars and communication systems with interference, and thereby paralyze their work; this is the essence of electronic warfare. It’s quite another thing to physically destroy electronics. Can you imagine the energy of such an impulse? It is necessary to detonate a nuclear weapon in the immediate vicinity of the facility.

    The kingdom of heaven to all the newly departed. Eternal memory and eternal peace. Condolences to family and friends.
    Most likely there was either a terrorist attack or some serious miscalculation with the maintenance of the aircraft. The altitude was about 9000 m, there is nothing to do with MANPADS there, and ISIS does not have large systems. We will wait for the investigation. I hope our specialists will find out everything.

    I sympathize... there are no words. The whole family is worried. The censor also decided to take a look, because everyone writes that it’s terrible and not the comments, but there are no comments. It seems that even the editors of the site from their people went nuts and simply closed them.

    What kills the most is the work of some television journalists. Why go with a microphone and a camera to people who have just lost relatives and friends, is it really that nothing is turning over in the soul? And then, with a smart look, they pull out of thin air some facts that are not very relevant to the matter, such as the revelations of some excuse a sheep who flew a month ago with this company and her flight was delayed due to a wheel falling off. Sometimes you think that the Union did the right thing by limiting access to such information. The airline's press secretary is also good, she makes up all sorts of crap about the inspectors who inspect the plane every time, and to categorically state that there is no human factor here is also not very professional. Is a commander’s big raid a 100% guarantee that he cannot make mistakes? No, it’s just that this probability is less for a person with more experience, but it still exists.

    Flights in that direction should have been canceled a long time ago. At least for a year. Egypt, Israel, Türkiye.

    My condolences to the families of the victims. Bypassing the discussion of the reasons for the crash of our plane: Russians should be transported on Russian planes, and the Russians themselves should be responsible for their condition. And respond adequately to malicious external reasons.

      Maybe now is not the time to discuss what the Russians should fly on, but, unfortunately, calls alone cannot do it. And it will be possible to fly Russian aircraft and, accordingly, be responsible for their condition only when a truly competitive domestic aircraft appears, with normal documentation and after-sales service.

      Have Russian planes ever crashed? And if they did fall, was it solely for “malicious external reasons”?
      Thinking, at least sometimes, is not at all harmful!

      Truly so. In fact, the aircraft ceases to be used when the costs of maintaining airworthiness become so high that they are not covered by transportation revenues. Everything is clearly regulated; after 20-25 years of operation, programs to maintain the airworthiness of aging aircraft and prevent corrosion come into effect. Implementation of these programs is associated with high costs and requires additional aircraft downtime. The fight for the "youth" of aircraft in airlines with large fleets is nothing more than the primary way to reduce maintenance costs, and not increase prestige, as some people think.

    The kingdom of heaven to the untimely dead (departed), may the earth rest in peace to them! I think that it could not have happened without external intervention. We are once again (incorrectly) told how our partners “respect” us. Someday everything will become clear, so to speak, it will fall into place, the main thing is not to forget about what happened! There can be many versions, I hope the “experts” will figure it out, “xy from xy.” For such things there can be no mercy not only for the performers but also for those who gave birth to them.

Children who saw the defenselessness of their parents... in general, People who experienced such frantic fear who lived last minutes... Rostov on Don is with you!

    The tail is 5 km from the cabin. It turns out that he has already fallen apart in the air. Tails don't just fall off in flight. Either some kind of impact or a very large overload.

    Now I read it - In 2011, this plane damaged its tail while landing in Cairo. Then it belonged to another company.

    The nature of the scattering of the plane's wreckage, the transponder readings received by the dispatchers, indicating a sharp drop in the plane's speed and a change in the trajectory, as well as the fact that the number of bodies found and the number of them in the list of those departing vary significantly, it can be assumed that a bomb was planted in the tail section . This explains the fact that the tail part came off, which caused the plane to lose stabilization and change direction from a horizontal to an almost vertical fall. During the explosion, some passengers could fall out of the cabin while still in the air, and even break into small pieces. The incident is strongly reminiscent of the explosion on the Tu-134, August 24, 2004, over the Tula region (Buchalki), flying along the Moscow-Volgograd route. There was a similar scatter of debris there.

      I’m talking about the same thing. The bomb was at the airport. Well, it’s clear, people, we stepped on the tail of the hydra in Syria! They will do anything to make us refuse military support for Assad.

        And to confirm this. The Ural Airlines board was driven into a technical block and checked for several hours in Hurghada... There was a delay of 9 hours. They announced that for technical reasons... most likely there is information about the bookmarks. Now every board will be thoroughly checked.
