The FAB says it will receive flight recorders from the Embraer plane that crashed in Kazakhstan on Tuesday

The Brazilian Air Force (FAB), through the Center for Investigation and Prevention of Aviation Accidents (Cenipa), reported on Monday that the flight recorders of the Embraer 190 aircraft involved in a crash last week in Kazakhstan.

In response to the request of the Kazakh Air Accident Investigation Authority, Cenipa will receive three of its investigators, as well as three investigators from Azerbaijan and three from Russia. They will monitor the data deletion process.

Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev said Sunday that the passenger plane that crashed last week killing 38 people was damaged by gunfire from Russian soil and said some people in Russia lied about the cause of the disaster.

A day earlier, Russian President Vladimir Putin apologized to Aliyev for the “tragic accident” in Russian airspace involving the Embraer aircraft, after Russian air defenses engaged Ukrainian attack drones. A Kremlin statement did not say Russia shot down the plane, but only noted that a criminal case had been opened.
