#3 Antonov-12 cargo planes are pretty old. They were manufactured in the 50s and 60s and early 70s.

If you want to use planes this old you really need top quality maintenance.

#5 Cargo plans have to be properly load balanced. The cockpit voice recorder should tell the tail.

#6 It will be interesting if the FSB is as good as the old KGB when it comes to "discouraging" future muslim terrorist attacks on russian interests.

#7 This was downed by lack of maintenance.

#8 From the link: "44-year-old aircraft was reportedly carrying 18 people along with the cargo, but was only designed to hold 12."

Old, overloaded, Soviet built, and Third World maintenance... a flying death trap.

#9 Wonder whose family member is going to get their balls cut off to discourage this practice. I love how the Russians don't follow those Silly ROE like the US thinks they should follow while fighting ppl who don't follw the same rules.
