Chronology of events:

Chassis in collision with the ground were released. Judging by everything, the landing gear fell off at the time of the aircraft's transfer to large angles of attack by ascending currents and accelerated the loss of speed before stalling. In the collision with the earth, the engines did not work. Probably, their stop took place at the time of the plane crash. This made it more difficult to bring the aircraft into normal flight mode. The difficult situation in which the crew found themselves after the stall was aggravated by the fact that the crew at night did not have the means to produce a spatial orientation due to the overshooting of the horizon.
