The nod expert in air defense, helicopters, and fighter planes, augustine, good to have you on with us. President rice, its Helicopter Crashed or burn whats been reported as very foggy conditions. Can you talk to us about how difficult conditions like that are to fly in and if that indeed could have been a complicating factor in this crash, the absolutely impact um lets, lets break it down mathematically. There are a lot of conspiracy duties around there, including uh, you know, if it does be pointed at all and sundry. Now let us look at those kinds of disabilities. And this time the room by now and, and do is another way to be able to do the course and go to the fog. Now you have paul coming in. And the side of the crash has happened. Definitely is some kind of a body to be to the was trying to navigate. I know you wont teach all the pipe, the copper to with motor less all was on track too bad. It was trying to go. So there was no issue. Also the gp is being school started, navigation add, or that is happening to keep those equations now induced log into the conspiracy. There is this, the time the, the lice, mathematical impossibility. All, all these 3 things are all things coming together. Theyll probably be used as i, as you will get into like that is look, i know, probably be looking at solar does need an open and shut case also difficult to be in flying to walk you conditions. Now lets talk about the flight mostly to go up the place closer to the ground in what is called a visual meter. Logical gonna be some of the bmc condition. Yeah, and it says, but it particularly does particularly corporate after own and does a lot. I mean 70 is, is designed to play in, in some countries and, but what is important. But as far as time is, theres something called the advertise instrument, major logical countries. And youre also going to be amc. So before you move from visual conditions to an instrument congress and youll do something on the final decision, you will shift from vision to the instrument. Youll get from 4 to 5 seconds to 10 seconds for times at the instrument. Then you have amc, but in the adverb, didnt leave to get into it. So the condition is the time you get confused of the many cases when including the last a general, no serious people. This one stop and on the same and to go up to just a couple of years ago in a very, very similar condition and towed on most important business. And look up those which im most of the eyepiece driving in the ministry and encompass. And ive been processing for a while, theres winter to look up the should have something called helicopter in a wellness and Warning System at stalls it discard. So when you have a good way that at all a good that stalls noise comfortably could actually military to cope the weak crash when, especially when getting movie, i mean, you know, what am i going to do the loss of many v i these flying and im going to create a cop to beat out as stalls into the emitter operations. Probably that is not required, but for really id be operations. It is very much the glide to countries all around the world. Theres a big, it doesnt make a call and have that look up to a cube with it stalls as well as, um, the uh good weather. Uh, good navigation system. Honestly would not happen. Augustine. Um why, why would the helicopter have taken off in the 1st place given the poor weather conditions and also the other factor of the difficult terrain . As you mentioned . Absolutely good question. So what happens is uh the pilot to fly. Uh the, the ip is especially clear by that to be have a certain instrument. Oh, there have also been some in the waiting that the uh, the guardian de pocketed Something Like a capability certificate. And you saw those 2 gentlemen who perished and this crash goes to bind. Its a very senior by that. So data considered to be in and be able to call them, must agreed to data already good by the to what happens is when as a good pilot, if i con, take my president from place a to place me this kind of a blemish on my bus no profession know that i called to most people get a good sort of place that i used into getting all a sudden the flight sometimes violating the weather conditions one to 10 minutes if lane re private, so maybe ill flying into the weather. Most of the time to do okay, but not with the id be on the boat to a boat mix together and to be up and up to a place id whos the class who has happened. Unfortunately, if you notice village below which day im starting the ground is very likely not even 20 to 30 minutes or so. The end of monitoring over will a very, very low. Okay, so that is why i figured it was a, it was approached you can also bake what ive got it. Okay. And uh, unfortunately that doesnt happen. Okay, were gonna leave it there. M j augustine vin. Not expert in air defense helicopters and psycho planes. Thank you. Are on pakistan 11 on have declared a National State of morning following the crash world. Leaders are offering their condolences over the project as they are right in president. Remembering him as a strong leader and outstanding individual among the fellow bricks, members and south african president , sarah around the post and indian Prime Minister in the run ramadi.

Remo, 1st, his thoughts are with the families of the late president and foreign minister as well as the relatives of the personnel and air crew who perished Chinese Foreign minister, wrong. It has expressed as deep sorrow over the depths of the president and foreign minister of iran. Russian president Vladimir Putin has also extended his condolences praising abraham raised his contribution in forging moscow and to rons partnership said edward, him racy, was an outstanding politician whose entire life was devoted to serving the motherland. He rightfully enjoyed high respect from his compatriots and significant authority abroad. As a true friend of russia, he made an invaluable personal contribution to the development of good neighborly relations between our countries and made great efforts to bring them to the level of strategic partnership. Last week, another state leaders live slough Prime Minister rubber pizza was put in mortal danger after i would be assessed and shot him 5 times a north. A non goose alton turkish political scientist set route in University Says it suspicious these 2 events happen to consecutively. So i mean, the post to go station in the words, make it hard to believe that it was an accident. Because just last week there was an army attacked on slower driving administer of people. And he was advocating normalization between the europe and russia. And in general perspective, i mean that the struggle between the wrist and the countries which are defending with people that are to like you all continue to struggle between just to come on to me from one is a green and the other one think these guys and even is playing an Important Role in this meeting, people that really, i mean, even in the does the people get on it so active, there has been to how much hes bola and the who shes also, but i think thats what i mean. Im good sexual joints and these are, i am a huge to targets. You dont the they, they done it before they, they got the money before they already targeted several times. But i dont know for sure. The circumstances of the crash are still unknown, around and authorities are expected to launch an investigation to find out what could have caused to attend, who might gain from the tragedy. The country has strained relations with a number of major global players, mainly the us and israel. Tel aviv promised revenge for to rons retaliatory attacks just last month. News politicians were quick to express their satisfaction with what had happened even before the fate of the arabian and president s became known. A good riddance, ray, you see was a murderous human rights abusers before and during his presidency. But look for the reigning regime to blame israel and the us for an assassination as another excuse to support terrorism. If i you see that the world is nelly, safer and bet someplace the evil mind was inside and instead of just he was not loved or respected and he will be missed by no one. If hes gone, i truly held the reading and people have the chest and say that a come to back from mergers. Dictators full. It is not a professor of political communication at the university of to ron, says us man a hand in the rainy and leaders Helicopter Crash. Sooner or later either on well find that what was the cause of the crash. It would be the, the, the amount of function of the helicopters, what is the sabotage . And if its a sabotage, we hold woodside savage by the sucker that its only is really an american operation that can engage in this type of terrorism. These are the same people who is attending thousands of children that are killing hundreds of people on a daily basis. They have no respect to human rights. They have no respect for international law. If its such as ice coming and other countries president is obviously going to have severe consequences for the people who are engaged in the type of criminal behavior. It could be in the whether it was quite bad. So at the end of the day it could be that could be the reason we dont know the cause you during one of his last public appearances, and for him, right, you see spoke at a News Conference in azerbaijan, he talked about a wrong cooperation with as or by john end of the palestinian conflict. Almost 10 as i want to have. So we will be able to complete this harass corridor project ahead of the schedule of 36 months, which meets the interest of both countries and peoples. And is a strategically important route in the region. We believe that this court order will provide communications which is very important and all of a small we intend not only to continue close cooperation between our countries, but also to continue by lateral and Regional Cooperation in organizations of which both ran and as or by chance are members, these are organizations such as the Economic Cooperation organization, the shanghai cooperation, organization, and other International Cooperation structures where our goal is to solve the issues and problems that the modern world faces. The palestinian issue is very important. In our opinion, this is the most important topic in the islamic world. And we have no doubt that cooperation between islamic countries is of great importance in solving the problems of the islamic world. During his visit to as or by john abraham or you see took part in opening ceremonies of to them as well as holding talks with his azerbaijani counterpart on a variety of topics. Year one of the projects discussed was the so called iris cord, or a land link that might eventually lead to in a rainy and foothold in the black sea. He was on his way to, to ron when the crash happens to advocate i know in september 2023. The a rainy and president was in new york where our correspond, that killed him up and got the chance to speak with him. Here is a short segment from that interview. Ron has faced widespread criticism for its stance on the ukraine conflict, whiskey of and its partners lashing out and criticizing iran. What would you say to those who look on at this, and it appears to be some kind of double standard. Uh, what do you have to say on this point . Look, we are convinced that they wont, between ukraine in russia, needs to come to an end as soon as possible, most decisively. It will be good for all the parties. If we want to understand what had caused this war, it is need his desire to expand its influence and more countries and establish its presence in setup mildred basis, not only in ukraine, but in many other states. Naturally what we observe now happening is the green seriously increasing its capacities thanks to american view of the bowl in terms of the middle of the 380. 00 receipts. Naturally this only purchase it to continue the war. Lets see whos to benefit from a prolonged for. Is it ukraine . Is it perhaps you have yet, or is it those who are praying today for this war to go on . I am convinced that with regards to this issue, the is the leg republic of around a bowl stands for facilitating the end of this war, playing a mediator stroll between russia and ukraine if possible. However, all those who are today sending all sorts of aid, including financial and military, 80 crane, and not wish to end the war, they wish to protect it by any means possible. The Islamic Republic over on due to the ample opportunities it now has at his disposal, has been blamed by the west, which is the right to throw in more accusations. We have given no response to these accusations on different forms. We said, if you have something to back up vsoft positions please, but you said they have not been able to produce a single piece of evidence or proof of any kind, any of it today. We have no doubt that their strategies to keep accusing based on the group public in order to disparage it and say Public Opinion against states. But this drake, just like all the other drugs they have used, the gains based on the republic wont help them. Now i would like if possible for you to give us your assessment of the prospects and future relations between iran and russia. We have enjoyed long standing relationship with rushing multiple areas, including politics, economics, trade, defense and security. And our cooperation is developing every day. Even the war in the region couldnt slow down, no corporation in the multiple areas. Quite the opposite of the political will. That prioritize is expanding all corporation, particularly in the areas of trade in economy, as well as our partnership and the international know self transport, Co Initiative and Regional Corporation misuse the development of all relations. Todays issues have had no impact on the relationship between russia and the red and never wealth. All relationship with russia is of strategic importance and no developments on the global sync and change. That was the right in president , is this archie takes a look back at the leaders life and the key achievements. During his tenure, ryan president e brian, raised the tragically passed away at the age of 63 after a Helicopter Crash born the 14th of december 1960. In my side, ron re see was a leading prominence cleric and politician before taking the role of president. And i use the health and number of key positions including chief justice of iran. And he was already well known for his steadfast, conservative, believes, and his loyalty to the ideals of the slot. Make revolution easy. Assumed the presidency in august 2021, following the resound in when in the national election. And while in office he prioritized fighting corruption, advanced in Economic Reforms and strengthening iran, international spending. The under rise, these watts, iran has gone through quite an interesting geo political period. During his presidency, the longstanding rivalry between san rondon, washington continued in 2021 alone. The u. S. Re establish numerous sanctions on iran spine natural and energy sectors. Targeting over a 100 entities and individuals, and divide and administration and continued to push for any force more sanctions. Us sanctions have cost a rendezvous. Fortune billions in las revenue inflation rates of both 40 percent and a significant rise employment rise, see, wasnt outspoken critics of us policies in the middle east, and he made sure it runs internal affairs, would see no american influence. And instead, stay independent despite the challenges that came with use chosen policy. Many of the sanctions and threats were used to prevent our armed forces from enjoying the necessary advanced weapons. But our armed forces decided to equip themselves with advanced armaments and to rebuild our countrys defense industry. We see that not only did we achieve self sufficiency in the military sector, but we transition from a mere importer of other countries, arms to a producer and ex porter of weapons, the under rise. This presidency, iran has shown weight support to the palestinian people. He consistently can dand, is riley actions in both casa and the west bank. Well, yet the compartment must stop as soon as possible. A ceasefire must be established immediately, humanitarian aid to the people of god. So it must be allowed as soon as possible. This gruesome crime is a crime against humanity. Its a genocide and child killing thats been committed by design is regime with the support of the us and some european countries. But things got more hectic after Senior Commander of iran, the sonic revolutionary guards cor, was killed in syria, and it is rarely attack on the radio calls to attend, damascus. Daron condemned to kill him calling. Its an act of aggression and vowed to retaliate a guess. Those responsible, 2 weeks later iran launched hundreds of drones and missiles at Israel College and necessary show of force. These incidents, of course, have heightened tensions across the region. Yet they continue with support for palestine has turned iran into a heap layer. As a c stayed consistent in his beliefs and called for muslims to join forces against israel. And yes, we have seen many more countries calling for union against the ideas assault on gaza, roads, africans, muslims, all united against israel as highlighted in the i. C, g for case brought by south africa. The you brought him an ac made or ron a key player in the middle east end the global styles as a whole. He builds and reinstated ties with met any during his presidency, iran saw a Huge Development in his diploma seats. The biggest one is of course the chinese mediated the top which has helped comb to decades long uranian rivalry with sodium ravia. Crazy also stepped up, his nations diplomacy, expanding it to all the continents like africa, which i, b, m. J. We believe that the world is not just western countries. When we say world, we meant all the states in the world, africa is an important continent as america and asia are important in recent years, ties with africa didnt receive proper consideration. He received a red carpet welcoming kenya u gun the end seemed bob way as he went on a 1st trip to africa by, in a rainy and present in more than a decade. Showing some new beginnings in relations with the consummate. The prizes administration also helps in developing a weight deepening of ties between iran and russia. The 2 countries cooperate is profoundly in various views, including the military and the economy. Rise is solved to fortify the strategic and Vital Alliance between iran and russia. Seen it as essential for counter balancing western influence and resisting pressure in the region the under his presidency, iran also saw itself joining the Economic Organization affects. Another important step in Economic Opportunities in openness to the global south about him if we on some say the solution to our problem lies in pleasing the us or europe on my answer to them is that we will not wait for their approval. We will not put the economy of our country and the livelihood of its people in their hands. Iran has specific capabilities. Hence, we perceive its presence in bricks, the seo and regional coalitions as an effective presence. It is a 2 way real old. We will be effective for them and they will be the same for us. He brought him right. He was a highly trusted feeder in iran, leaving behind a complex, yet unforgettable footprint in the world of politics. Hes passing raises some crucial questions about the countrys future. If i use these major contributions or rainy and politics and his influence on the nations trajectory will definitely be remembered for many years to come. Will stay with our to international for continuing coverage will keep you updated on all the latest developments on air and online. The, the crowds have gathered near the u. K.
