On this day last year, the final moments of AZAL’s J2-8243 civilian passenger plane, shot down over Grozny, the capital of Russia’s Chechen Republic, were recreated using artificial intelligence technology.

Axar.az informs that the video lasts just 2 minutes and 30 seconds and was created based on real flight parameters, radar data, and, most importantly, technical data retrieved from the plane’s black box.

The reconstruction shows that the aircraft only crashed in the final stage of its flight due to external interference. Throughout the video, viewers can follow the sequence of cockpit dialogues, altitude and speed indicators, and sudden pressure and temperature changes corresponding to the missile strike.

This AI-generated reconstruction further confirms that Flight J2-8243 was shot down while flying in an area not declared as a military zone and in full compliance with international civil aviation rules. Technical traces in the black box data clearly indicate that the aircraft was targeted by air defense systems under the control of the Russian Ministry of Defense.

As a result of the incident, 38 of the 67 people on board, including the pilots and chief flight attendant Hokuma Aliyeva, were killed. Despite the passage of a year, Russia has not fulfilled its international legal obligations regarding this crime. Official investigation materials have not been released, the perpetrators have not been identified, and no one has been punished. This constitutes a gross violation of international aviation law, including the Chicago Convention.

The published video is not only a technical reconstruction but also a political and legal indictment. The sequence presented by AI shows that this incident cannot be considered an accident or a “coincidence.” Responsibility for the downing of the civilian aircraft rests directly with the Kremlin and the Russian Ministry of Defense.
