"There were no explosives or devices inside the plane which crashed on the Georgian territory yesterday, only spare parts for F-16 aircraft," the Azerbaijani APA reports, citing an informed source.

According to APA, the plane was carrying people who were providing technical support to Turkish F-16 aircraft and who were participating in a military parade in Baku on November 8. Initial observations suggest that there are no traces of external impact on the fuselage of the aircraft. For information, it should be noted that after the Azerbaijani Embraer-190 crashed on December 25 last year, the first inspection clearly showed that the fuselage of the aircraft had numerous holes formed as a result of external impact. This led to the version of the plane being shot down as the basis.

"Therefore, the absence of external impact elements on the fuselage of the C-130 excludes the possibility of its being shot down. Even if we assume the possibility of the presence of an explosive substance or device inside the aircraft and its explosion, there should definitely be traces of an explosion on the fuselage of the crashed aircraft," the source noted.

“Thus, preliminary investigations provide grounds for focusing on two versions. First, since the aircraft has been in operation for a long time, corrosion could have formed on its body, which is a serious reason for the aircraft to crash under high pressure in the air. It should be noted that in the 1990s, the US Armed Forces Hercules aircraft crashed for this very reason.

The second version is that the cargo transported on cargo planes is firmly secured in accordance with the relevant requirements. Failure to comply with this requirement leads to the cargo moving due to turbulence or other effects and creating serious complications inside, which is a sufficient reason for the accident.

All this shows that some conspiracy theories currently circulating on social media are unfounded. In fact, there is no basis for this, since the aircraft's black box will shed light on the underlying causes of the accident” APA reports.
