💥 Footage of the Embraer 190 that crashed near Aktau shows fuselage markings resembling shrapnel or missile fragments, raising speculation about an air defense strike. A survivor reported a mid-air explosion, though Russian authorities initially cited a bird strike.

As someone pointed out Kaspiysk has a base, nearby and was struck in November I believe.
So did the plane limp over the ocean burning fuel and then struggle to land?

There were plenty of other cases in the next 30 years like Malaysian MH17 shot down in Ukraine in 2014 or Ukrainian Flight 752 shot down in Iran in 2020
If the info about the diversion didn't get to the missile units in time > shootdown
"The plane was damaged by the Russians and was sent to Kazakhstan, instead of making an emergency landing in Grozny to save lives," Kovalenko added.
How quickly will radio records be made available? I'm guessing GPS/tracker was disrupted.
It starts perfectly normal, then it disappears (from FlightRadar tracking) at 04:25, only to reappear almost two hours later, at the opposite side of the Caspian Sea, and apparently damaged.
