Brazilian Air Force Completes Black Box Analysis

Brazilian air force investigators have extracted data from the black box recorders of the Azerbaijan Airlines plane that crashed in Kazakhstan on December 25, killing 38 of 67 onboard. Azerbaijan claims the Brazilian-made Embraer 190 was shot down by a Russian missile, a claim Russia denies, citing operations against Ukrainian drones. The black box data was analyzed in Brasilia and handed over to Kazakhstan, which is responsible for publishing the results. Azerbaijan's President Ilham Aliyev has accused Russia of concealing the true cause and demanded an apology and accountability for the 'criminal' act. Russian President Putin has apologized for the incident in Russian airspace but has not addressed Azerbaijan's claims. Investigators from Kazakhstan, Azerbaijan, and Russia were involved in analyzing the data in Brazil.
