"We're not involved; such air defense systems can be purchased in any store," said Mikhail Sheitelman regarding the Russian response to the disaster in Aktau.

As the expert points out, it is now officially stated that a Russian missile shot down an Azerbaijani aircraft, although we discussed this earlier. It is commendable that Azerbaijan is demanding an apology and compensation; this was initially mentioned by an Azerbaijani deputy, and now President Aliyev has echoed this sentiment.

“It was their air defense that shot it down; it’s their air defense, but the Russians will remain unaware of the full situation. We are not there; such air defense systems can be bought in any store... Unfortunately, this will always be the case. That is why Azerbaijan and Kazakhstan are not letting this issue go, thank God. They have invited Brazil to participate in the investigation, as it was a Brazilian-made aircraft,” explains Mikhail Sheitelman.

He adds that it is good to see the consequences already unfolding, as several foreign airlines have canceled flights to certain Russian cities. Specifically, he notes that this involves Azerbaijan, Israel, and Kazakhstan, and it would be better for them to suspend flights until the end of the Russian-Ukrainian war and to all cities in Russia, as soon our drones will reach Siberia.

“This is a combat zone; there’s no need to fly there. If the airline hasn’t canceled, I urge everyone living in Azerbaijan not to fly there. People have written to me: ‘What should we do? Many Azerbaijanis work in Russia; we need to go to work.’ Well, it’s not worth risking your life, right? That’s one thing. Secondly, Ukrainians work in Poland; they take buses. Travel by bus. Is it long? Yes, it is. I know there’s a war, and you want to work in a country at war. Take precautions,” explains Mikhail Sheitelman.
