According to preliminary data, an explosion in the sky occurred in the landing gear area — as a result, a wing was torn off, which hit the stabilizer, because of this, Yevgeny Prigozhin's plane began to climb sharply, and then went into a tailspin, a source of the telegram channel Shot reports.
From the explosive depressurization, everyone on board instantly lost consciousness, so the pilots could not report an emergency. But without a wing and stabilizer, it was not possible to save the plane. As a result of the explosion in the sky, the tail section of the aircraft fell five kilometers from the fuselage.
