Stand back, this could get messy.

That's not how physics works.

Even with no wings, it should continue in a parabolic arc to the ground.

What in the world could have killed all forward momentum? That video is baffling.

Or was it going in an arc and this is just the very end of it?

If it's falling in an arc directly away from the camera maybe it would create the illusion of being a straight drop?

Ah; the poorly maintained aircraft got caught in the missile's jetwash, which killed both engines... those bastards!

Yeah, thinking about it the plane was WAY higher up when whatever happened happened, so what we're seeing the after a lot of the forward momentum was gone.

I guess I was just too used to seeing crashes from the war when the plane is that high up when it's initially hit.

I mean that video is after it's already had the wing and engine blown off and it's lost all momentum due to the tumble and air resistance. The parabolic part was when it was up way higher

I guess the thing that's loving with me is the fact that the wings are still perpendicular to the ground as opposed to the cockpit aiming at the ground as it's making a flat *fall but I suppose if both engines got taken out at the same time it would explain it.

it's this, and the parabolic part isn't very long at all. airplanes continue forward very well when they still have all their control surfaces. if you lose a wing or tail at speed, you will almost certainly immediately depart controlled flight and experience very powerful drag forces that will kill your forward momentum quite quickly assuming they don't shred the rest of your plane. since you're tumbling whatever thrust you still have is pushing you around randomly instead of forward.

we "know" it insofar as there's not really another plausible option after seeing the eyewitness videos. my earlier shitpost aside, even a near-miss missile strike can absolutely kill the momentum of a craft if the missile was traveling in the opposite direction as its target (as opposed to chasing it). if it impacts on the airframe at all (like it probably did to rip parts of the plane off), it's even more acute. missiles aren't very big, but they move so fast they end up with a lot of momentum, and that gets transferred over in a collision.

we don't have it irrefutably confirmed because russia keeps changing their story on what they did or didn't do. but basically unless you believe in time travelers or something, it was a russian missile.

Obviously based on the videos things like "the pilot had a heart attack" are ridiculous, was just probing whether its possible someone set a bomb in the plane or something. I'm assuming you can't sabotage a plane in such a way that the wings fall off like that without causing an explosion. But on more thinking that'd be way more complicated and failure-prone than just instructing a random soldier to make an oopsie.

yeah. in general, planes are so safe because they have been engineered on every level to stay flying pretty much no matter what. you can lose an engine, you can compromise a flight surface, you can have hydraulics fail, that bitch will stay in the sky. obviously lol russian graft or whatever, but even massive russian corruption cannot change the fact that even without those wings, most passenger jets could stay reasonably controlled in the air using just the flaps and control surfaces on the tail. they're not going to stay flying for too long, but it'll be enough to keep you from entering a death spiral and bring it to something resembling a controlled crash. sabotage with this overall effect would have to touch almost every single system on the plane, and if the pilot is paying any attention at all they're basically guaranteed to notice even without their fancy diagnostics. just, they will attempt to move a flap and it won't respond the way they expect after hundreds if not thousands of hours of experience with that mechanism.

alternatively you could just lie to some clueless fucko on a ground SAM site that there's ukranian suicide drone overhead, blast the thing, do it, soldier, DO IT NOW.

I uh, don't think this is true, at all. you can lose engines and control surfaces, yes, but if you've lost an entire wing you aren't going to be doing anything like controlled flight. like, maybe full opposite aileron lets you lawn dart until you overspeed and rip off the other wing, if that's what you mean? or do you mean they'll lawndart with both wings off and only the tail, in which case probably agreed but I wouldn't call that controlled/controllable.

yes. sorry, i agonized over that sentence a bit because i was trying to make the point that the pilot wouldn't lose full control and it wouldn't look like that absolute shuddering doomspiral that prig's plane went down in, but i didn't have the words to succinctly get through that while being both accessible and fully technically correct.

NEW STRELKOV DROPPED
https://t.me/strelkovii/6285

quote:

I.I. Strelkov's comments on Prigozhin's death (text transmitted through the lawyer Koroleva):
I believe that the probable involvement of the president is minuscule, approximately at the level of the probability of a man-made disaster. The probability of a terrorist act on the part of Ukraine or the West is even less likely. Here we may be talking about the "cleansing of key witnesses", which has not been mentioned in the media. Also possible, but unlikely, is personal revenge on the part of high-ranking military officers. I can't say I'm saddened, since Prigozhin was not only my enemy personally, but by and large an enemy of Russia. And his danger was still very high. At the same time, what happened cannot cause me any positive reaction, as it is another evidence of further deepening of the turmoil in Russia. Prigozhin should have been tried, not eliminated, now he will not be able to testify. The dashing 90s are returning, and this is very dangerous and fraught.

It's in a flat spin. Probably because the vertical stabiliser on the tail got blown off.
