In #2 JCM said: Russian air-defense system downed Azerbaijan plane, sources say I note it was way off course, too. Could it have been affected by GPS jammers and then ended up in a place Russia thought was a threat/ Their fault on both.

Reply to Kosh's Shadow in 3: To early to tell, given the amount of missile fragment damage on the tail surfaces my money is on control issues and they didn't have a lot of lateral control. So they headed off in the direction the damage plane could manage.

Reply to JCM in 4: Looks like an initial hit with a small antiaircraft missile, and then going off course due to GPS spoofing;
That Russian Airliner Shoot-Down Was Even Worse Than It Looked Various reports indicate that Azerbaijan Airlines Flight 8432 lost hydraulic controls following an explosion near the rear of the aircraft, indicative of a small surface-to-air missile like those fired by Russia's Pantsir-S air defense system. Survivors heard an explosion and reported shrapnel flying through the Embraer 190AR, a small regional jetliner manufactured in Brazil. After changing course toward Kazakhstan, J2-8243 dropped off of GPS. According to real-time tracking service Flightradar24, the aircraft was "exposed to strong GPS jamming and spoofing." Subjected to GPS spoofing/jamming and having been waved off its original destination, J2-8243 may have flown off course and within range of a Russian air defense site on alert for a drone strike. Another possibility is that the flight was jammed after it was hit in a panicked attempt to hide the evidence, so to speak. RTWT
