The Ministry of Defense published a report on the Tu-154 crash in the Black Sea.

According to official experts' arguments, the most likely cause of the crash of the Tu-154 over the Black Sea was the crew's loss of spatial orientation, while earlier versions that the tragedy could have occurred due to a technical malfunction or external factors were rejected as Unlikely.

In addition, it is possible that, with the loss of spatial orientation, the commander of the aircraft could have had erroneous actions with the controls of the aircraft, which in turn only aggravated the problem and led to a plane crash.
