How did the Ukrainian authority manage to lean the case? Why Siberia's airline never received payments for a shot down plane, and what the relatives of the dead and aviation experts about the tragedy, found out nTV Correspondent Alexey Quashenkin.
15 years have passed since the disaster. But those who came to the monument to the dead could not hold back feelings, as if the news of the death of their relatives came only yesterday.
Olga Lebushinskaya, Widow: "We have small children left. Son 18 years now, and it was 3 years. The daughters were 11, now 28. How to forget? No, it will never be forgotten. "
October 4, 2001. In the cape of collies military equipment. Joints with the Black Sea Fleet of the teachings of Ukrainian air defense walled with a scope: observers from seven countries, journalists. In the direction of the sea, 23 rockets are launched. White loops begin to stretch down, rockets fall into the sea.
Archers are interrupted. 250 kilometers from the landfill, a passenger aircraft disappears from Radarov, returning to Novosibirsk from Israel.
Investigation materials coldly fix the horror of the catastrophe. At 9 o'clock 45 minutes, a beep came that corresponding to the eligibility of the crew to communicate, accompanied by an emotional cry. The plane was not collapsed during the explosion, there was depressurization and fuel ignition. The crew for another 45 seconds tried to save the liner embraced by flame ...
With the teachings, the explosion was tied up immediately, but there were arguments against. They declared, for example, that Tu-154 was at the limit of the working range of the Rocket complex C-200. Another question is why the liner was generally in the shooting zone.
Viktor Murakhovsky, Member of the Expert Council of the Board of the Russian Federation of the Russian Federation: "The main reason is preoccupation and a complete violation of the conditions of start-up of air defense missiles. That is, there was no creation of a unhable space, closed to civil aviation. On the distance even theoretical flight of the zenith rocket. "
When liner debris began to find in the sea, they found something remarkable: the struck elements of the rocket complex C-200. The error version on the exercises was the main one.
The guilt was later a later President of Ukraine Kuchma, but with such a wording that caused the indignation of the Israeli premiere of Ariel Sharon.
Leonid Kuchma, Former President of Ukraine: "We are not the first and not the last. Do not make tragedy from this. Errors are everywhere, and not just such a scale. "
He recognized the guilt and repayed Minister of Defense Kuzmuk. But then the Ukrainian expertise comes to the conclusion, directly contrary to the conclusions of the Interstate Aviation Commission.
Colleagues of pilots and native dead came to the cemetery not only to honor the memory. After 15 years, they again ask to return the investigation materials to Russia, prove the truth in which they do not doubt for a second.
"Squeeze it on x ..!" - As the non-galberry VSU shot passenger Tu-154On October 4, 2001, it was 16 years ago, Ukraine shot down the Russian passenger aircraft of the Tu-154M airline "Siberia" over the Black Sea, who fleesing Tel Aviv - Novosibirsk. All who was on board were killed.
Forgotten for years of catastrophe over the Black Sea, as a result, 78 people of Tel Aviv - Novosibirsk died, and now did not find his logical completion. Recognizing your guilt, Ukraine never paid compensation russian airline Siberia in the amount of $ 15 million, restricted by payments of $ 200,000 for each deceased Israeli and Russian. To bring down-shot, but we will not answer in full - this is in the style of the current policy of Kiev.
SBI1812 Planned flight on the Tel Aviv - Novosibirsk, held in the morning of October 4, 2001 from David Ben Gurion Airport to Tolmachevo Airport, interrupted after 1 hour and 45 minutes flight. The liner was at an altitude of 11 thousand meters and was already going to start a decline in the airport of Sochi, where the intermediate refueling fuel should have occurred. Before the landing, about 200 kilometers remained in the Russian resort town, when the crew recorded the fact of his plane hitting the rocket and managed to send several alarm buttons to the ether. The missile has no reason to deviate from the striking action of the rocket to interception, the pilots have only managed to notice that they are attacked.
As is well known, at this time, in the territory of Cape, Opuk in Crimea passed the teachings of WFA of Ukraine, which were attended by including foreign observers. Archers for academic air targets were carried out including from C-200B complexes, the rocket of which and mistakenly struck civilian.
"Angry intent in a shot down Tu-154 above the Black Sea in 2001, it was difficult to assume, rather, it was not," says the military expert Vladislav Shurygin. - Then there was no such number of negativity in the brains of Ukrainian citizens in relation to the Russians. Especially since it was international Rays, on board the aircraft were in the main citizens of Israel and Ukraine would not risen to go on such a major scandal, from which could not be rejected. The reason is seen in the other - by that time, already as ten years in the troops of Ukraine, graduates of specialized military schools did not receive, and many of the operating officers could either quit, or left for Russia. Most likely that the C-200V complex operator was simply not professionally prepared, the plus was under psychological pressing of the high bosses, which required to show skill in the eyes of foreign observers. All this could lead to the fact that instead of an educational goal, located 60 kilometers, the operator brought the rocket to goal, which was at a distance of 250-300 kilometers - confused! The main thing was faster to start starting and showing the vastness of Ukrainian peevoshnikov. The result is known. "
After the catastrophe, Kiev immediately went to the "non-scribed" and for a long time he was rejected from participating in the tragedy of his rocket.
"The tragedies, when a civilian plane becomes a victim of the military (for various reasons) is not so rare," said Media Consultant Alexander Zimovsky. - In such cases there is an iron rule: deny everything. In addition, the great powers can afford one more liberty. To justify the destruction of the civil aircraft, recognizing its military incident. So behave, for example, Americans. Remember the Iranian airbus, which was hit by a rocket from the American cruiser "Vinsennes"?
Then 290 people died, the ship commander was ordered.
Ukraine, as a third-paced country, can not afford such a luxury. Therefore, in the case of the destruction of Tu-154 over the Black Sea in 2001, Kiev went into full "non-scold." All the circumstances of the tragedy are well acquainted, because in 2001 our television company reported that a passenger aircraft was shot down by Ukrainian SPC during the shooting in Crimea. I myself supervised this special news about news, and conducted factsing on the basis of these American tracking and alert systems. They immediately pointed to the Ukrainian origin of the rocket, which shot down the aircraft flew out of Tel Aviv.
In the future, Ukrainian commander and officials went to failure. But then, in the first few hours, with fear, almost all those involved in the Ukrainian side did not dispute what happened. The command of the VSU recognized the fact of the teachings, and the conduct of the archery in the specified area, and the loss of control over the fastened rocket on the part of the combat calculation of the SPC. And even preserved in the Ukrainian military folklore, the team of the Minister of Defense Kuzmuk commander SPK, expressed doubt about the captured goal: "Squeeze it on x ..!"
. Two weeks later, Kuzmuk was removed from office.
In that fateful day at the Polygon, the opaque set the show for the president of Kuchma. The Minister of Defense Minister of Ukraine, General Army Army, Kuzmuk, was the commander-in-chief of the air defense police of Ukraine, Colonel-General Vladimir Tkachev and his deputy for combat training General Lieutenant Vladimir Dyakov, Commander of the 49th Ukrainian Corps Lieutenant General Kalinyuk. Kuchma was saved only that he was "sick" on the eve (it often happened to him), and did not arrive at the landfill. However, he never denied the incident itself or the fault of Ukraine in what happened. Let even with an indispensable reservation about the random of the tragedy. "
Then, following the results of the official investigation of the tragedy in the sky over the Black Sea, "left" to resign many high-ranking military having even an indirect attitude towards russian aircraft. At the same time, none of them was given to the court - everyone was separated by the censure. Moreover, Ukraine has put forward all this time and put forward the version of its innocence to the incident and, despite the results of the investigations, "pursues" the version of the inner explosion aboard the civil aircraft. Yes, and today, in the next anniversary, no one remembers the terrible tragedy in Kiev - such a "accuracy" of Ukrainian air defense is clearly not in honor.
P.S.
The commission of the Interstate Aviation Committee (MAC) after studying the fragments concluded that the liner "unintentionally struck" the Zenit Rocket C-200 "Earth-Air", launched by the Air Defense forces of Ukraine, which was held on that day military exercises at the Cape of Opuk in the Crimea. It was assumed that the operator of the zenith complex, finding several objects in the sky, did not determine the distance to the target and the "highlighted" (for determining the rocket), a more powerful object, which turned out to be Tu-154. And the training goal at this time was at a closer distance, but less noticeable than the plane.
Five minutes after the plane was shot down, it was handed over to the open bonds of the VSU. Then the Americans immediately shared information about the launch of the rocket.
At the same time, the Minister of Defense of Ukraine first, Alexander Kuzmuk, stated that on October 4, the teachings of the air defense troops did not take place. And in the press service of the Navy of Ukraine reported that the exercises were still held, but began after the plane crash, which turned out to be lies.
On October 9, the representative of the Catastrophe Investigation Commission stated: An analysis of the blades in the fuselage showed that the aircraft could be amazed by the molecule of the air defense complex C-200 "Earth-air", as the size and shape of the slopes are quite consistent with the shrothels of the fragmentation fugasal combat part of the rocket of this particular complex .
President of Ukraine Leonid Kuchma on October 10, 2001 so answered journalists to questions about the causes of the aircraft crash
- See what is happening around in the world, in Europe? We are not the first and not the last, you do not need to do from this tragedy. Errors are everywhere, and not only such a scale, but a much larger, planetary scale. If we do not omit yourself below the civilized level, everything will be fine. And if we are on yourself a bucket of dirt, you ask so grace.
In connection with the announcement of the Netherlands of the "preliminary results" of the investigation into the collapse of the Malaysian "Boeing", on which the Ukraine part of the Commission did not provide any radar data, nor negotiations of dispatchers, nor any other necessary for the investigation of information, one can state that there is another , The second Ukrainian falsification. And her goal is obvious - driving his own crime.
Black Thursday
The first similar crime was accounted for exactly 15 years ago. Then during the teachings of the Ukrainian troops of the air defense instead of the educational goal, the Ukrainian Rocket C-200 in the sky over the Black Sea, a passenger airliner of the Tu-154 Russian airline "Siberia" was shot down.
The tragedy occurred on October 4, 2001 with the Tu-154 aircraft with the RA-85693 onboard number, which flew out of international Airport named after David Ben-Gurion in Tel Aviv, performing a flight of SBI 1812. All 78 people who were on board were killed - 66 passengers and 12 crew members (27 citizens of Russia and 51 citizen of Israel).
Kyiv's attempts to give a catastrophe of Tu-154 for the "attack of international terrorism" were not crowned with success. And although the "black boxes" were found at the bottom of the Black Sea, the Commission of the Interstate Aviation Committee (MAC) found that the destruction of the aircraft of the Russian airline "Siberia" was caused by the external influence of solid elements with a diameter of about 10 mm. And that the liner at an altitude of 11 thousand meters struck the anti-aircraft missile C-200, launched by the air defense forces of Ukraine, located on the Crimean Peninsula.
It was stated that Tu-154 was shot down unintentionally from the Polygon at the Cape of Opuk during the training shooting of anti-aircraft missile systems. Apparently, the cause was the error of the operator of the SER operator, which incorrectly identified the goal.
Itself not wanting to help Americans helped. Thanks to the leakage of information from military sources, in a few hours, the United States television company reported: the Russian liner was shot down by a rocket of the Ukrainian air defense complex of C-200, launched during military exercises.
The game is in nonmeal
Nevertheless, no less, Ukraine refused to recognize the obvious and denied the involvement of his servicemen to the death of the aircraft. And this is despite the fact that the day after the tragedy, October 5, the Prime Minister of Ukraine said that the version of the Ukrainian missile to the plane of the airline Siberia "has the right to exist." And on October 12, the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine, commenting on the preliminary results of the investigation, admitted that the Ukrainian rocket could be the cause of the death of Tu-154. "
The next day, October 13, the Minister of Defense of Ukraine Alexander Kuzmuk brought apologized to his relatives and loved ones, saying:
"We know that they are involved in the tragedy, although its reasons are not yet installed."
Soon after the tragedy, almost all the leadership of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine "left" in resignation, including Kuzmuk himself. Apparently, for excessive frankness ...
In 2005, Kiev "reluctant" paid compensation to the relatives of the dead. But then again "turned Ogrokli" 180 degrees and began to "play in non-scribe". The conclusions of Ukrainian experts were put forward. One is absurdly another. They with foam at the mouth claimed that S-200 SPK could not hit the Tu-154 Siberia Airlines!
In the summer of 2011, the Court of Kiev refused to satisfy the lawsuit of the Russian airline "Siberia" in the case of a catastrophe of the Russian liner. Proving the "validity" arguments of Ukrainian experts, the Prosecutor General's Office of Ukraine closed a criminal case. In January 2011, the Kiev Court of Appeal determined that the investigators of Mac "could not prove that the plane was shot down by the Ukrainian rocket."
Falsification, forgery, failure to provide data
Causes and first tragedy with Tu-154 in 2001, and the second - with the Malaysian "Boeing" in 2014, are quite obvious. The sky over Ukraine in the area of \u200b\u200bthe exercises (in the first case) and in the area of \u200b\u200bhostilities (in the second) there was not closed and foreign states conducting flights of civil liners in this square were not warned about danger.
Former colonel SBU Sergey Balabanov, who was present on October 4, 2001 at the test site at the Cape of Opuk, and then led the investigation from the Ukrainian side, after 15 years admitted:
"The civilian aircraft of the Russian airline" Siberia "found himself in the sector of the educational goal and had a radial speed close to it, as a result of which he was detected by the Radar of SP-200 SPC and mistakenly accepted for the identified goal."
Today, in trying to get away from liability in history with Boeing MN-17 Kiev uses exactly the same techniques, as in the situation with Tu-154 - is engaged in falsifications, profits, does not provide available data and documents. And all this - with the active support of the West.
And then, and now the Kiev authorities are trying to deny the obvious and disappear from their involvement in these two tragedies, the death of hundreds of innocent people.
Forgotten for years of catastrophe over the Black Sea, as a result, 78 people of Tel Aviv - Novosibirsk died, and now did not find his logical completion. Recognizing his guilt, Ukraine did not pay compensation for the Russian airline Siberia in the amount of $ 15 million, limiting payments of $ 200,000 for each deceased Israelis and Russian. Lit-shot down, but I will not answer in full - this is in the style of the current policy of Kiev.
