Above Ukraine "noticed" Russian passenger plane: details (photo)

This is the second such incident since early December. Experts put forward three versions why services monitor civilian planes over Ukraine despite closed airspace. On December 25, a civil aircraft from the Russian Federation flew again over the territory of Ukraine. This is evidenced by data from the service for flights of Flightradar aircraft.

According to the service, at about 10:10 in London time (13:10 in Kiev), the Boeing 737-8MC plane, which belongs to the Russian company "Venta", was recorded above the territory of Ukraine. The RA-73232 aircraft opened a flight by PBD111 from Astrakhan to Moscow, but its route ran territory of Ukraine, which is closed for civil aviation flights since February 24, 2022.

Initially, the plane allegedly flew over the Azov Sea near the temporarily occupied Berdyansk, and then appeared between the Ukrainian cities Kryvyi Rih and Dnipro. In 30 minutes, at 13:45 Kyiv time, the Russian board was again recorded in the north of the Chernihiv region near the border with Russia. After that, the aircraft disappeared from the observation again, and then again appeared in the territory of the Russian Federation.

Later, the aircraft was landed at the Dnuba Airport located in Moscow. Such "mysterious" flights often celebrate monitoring services. Among the versions of why such situations occur, there are three versions - crashes in the work of the aircraft navigation system, problems with the work of the service itself or the work of Russian systems of EWS. We will remind, on December 2, Focus reported that an unknown Russian aircraft "flew" over Ukraine.
