I've actually watched the video footage as well, which to me seems even more unbelievable...
Ok, so aircraft is flying along (actually climbing out), it has some flap down.
Now, MOST aircraft, when flying with flaps down, experience a downward pitching moment, countered by the use of up elevator.
If the WING loses connection to it's TAIL, the wing will pitch DOWN.
For reference, look at the C130 firebomber that lost it's wings back 12 years ago, the wings detached and initially dihedral led upwards, but then pitched downwards and hit the ground before the fuselage.
or;
The B17 that was cut in half by the Kingcobra in Texas 3 years ago, the wing and nose pitching forward into the ground.
I've no way to prove the Antonov video is Ai, but it just doesn't look right.🤔🤷♂️
It's highly unlikely the surveillance camera footage was faked (watch the video in the link). I too, thought the initial still image was faked, until I saw the surveillance camera footage.
The crash incident involved an Antonov An-22 aircraft. The aircraft disintegrated in mid-air during a test flight after maintenance, over the Ivanovo Region, Russia, on December 9, 2025, and the wreckage fell into a reservoir. All 7 crew on board were killed.
