On January 9, a plane belonging to Azur Air which was flying from Moscow to Goa made an emergency landing in the Indian state of Gujarat after a report of mining, the Ministry of Civil Aviation of India reported. The state of Gujarat is located in the north-west of India.
Azur Air told that they received information from unidentified persons “about the alleged mining of one of their aircraft” and took necessary measures “according to the established procedure.” According to the company, the aviation authorities of India decided to redirect the plane to the Jamnagar airfield. The aircraft landed, no one was injured. According to the local local official, passengers were disembarked.
“A thorough inspection of the aircraft by the airport security service is planned. Based on the results of the inspection, a decision will be made on the further execution of the flight to the destination airport,” Azur Air added.
This was the third such incident with a Russian civil aircraft in recent days.
On the evening of January 7, a civil Boeing 737, which was en route from Russian city of Murmansk to Moscow, sent out a mayday call while flying over the Vologda region.
Fortunately, soon the plane successfully landed in Sheremetyevo airport in Moscow. There was no threat to security of passengers. According to some Russian sources, the crew of the aircraft received a message from an anonymous source about the mining of the aircraft.
Another incident took place on December 29. Another Boeing 737-86N made an emergency landing at the Novosibirsk airport after a message about mining. The message was received twice, the first time when the plane was at Irkutsk airport. Then the experts examined the Boeing and found no suspicious items. When the plane took off from Irkutsk to Novosibirsk with 129 passengers on board, the message about mining was received again, but after checking the information was not confirmed again.
Sabotage activities against security of Russian citizens continue.
I moribondi passano sempre al terrorismo , vedi i nazisti nel secolo scorso
The Lanisters send their regards.
I have never heard of the expression “mining an aircraft” : do you mean planting a bomb? The verb ‘mining,’ in English military terms, refers to the tactic of attacking a walled city, fortress or castle during a siege; while the noun ‘mine’ refers to a bomb dug in the ground designed to explode upon impact by a vehicule or a train. Title of article should be: “Series of bomb threats aboard Russian planes rock Russian aviation industry” or something of the like.
Clearly, someone was attempting to gather minerals while on board the aircraft. They are a great source of aluminum and they often have a lot of copper in the wiring.
That’s a game many can play. What’s Delta’s number?
The US Nazis have compunction against for terrorism in it’s crudist psychological forms. Who trains those.
As long as you’re not selling plane seats to anyone Rothschild wants dead, your plane will make it safely… Ignore the Ukronazi pranks…
South Front needs to get better translators. The word “mine” is not equivalent to the words “shell” and “bomb.” I see this mistake often with Russian translations.
Always repay the Nafo criminals back twice as much as a minimum for their war crimes. Be like Israel : “ You slap my face… i knock you down…and out”. When it comes to retaliation striking back twice as hard seems very highly effective.
