The fact that they jammed the gps, refused them an airport to land in, and then told them to fly over the sea, seems like they definitely wanted it to crash into the water so that it would be much easier to cover up.

Instead, they now have all the evidence, and it's out there in the open immediately.

Edit: changed radar to gps.

However I am afraid Russia will still pressure people on this issue to cover up. Kazakh officials already arrested a blogger who filmed plane crash for example, what was the reason for arresting him though?

I got a reply for my question:

"You don't understand. Sarsenov was reportedly at the crash scene and, despite the area being cordoned off by authorities, used a drone and a mobile phone to capture footage. You cannot allow unofficial personnel or civilians to crowd the space of a crash, Russia would use this to send 95 randoms with drones to fly around it for 3 months until the wreck was taken over by slavic squatters."

The official statement was that he got arrested for 10 days for ignoring directions of law enforcements.

You have broken the law!

What law?

The one that says you gotta do whatever the fuck I want.

I mean, isn't it how things work with cops more-or-less anywhere? (Difference being that in more legally protected countries you can actually expect compensation and exoneration after illegal detainment.)
