Discussion on https://avherald.com/h?article=520c0e2b&opt=0 seems to tend towards pilot error. Plane's ILS may not have locked on to glide slope and pilots went too low and too fast. Maybe missed the point where they should've gone around.

But all just speculation, and I'm just summarizing too. It'll take some time to get answers, all we seem to have right now is alarmist politicians milking the topic.

On the contrary, we have all sorts of escalation management appeasers trying to avoid putting any possible blame on Russia for this, despite constant EW and GPS jamming in the region.

Dude, you're embarassing yourself. They were below the intermittent cloud cover listed in METAR, landing in good visual conditions (yes, nighttime, but it's a city, you can see it). Even if they got full-spectrum interference thrown at them, they should and would have been able to go around. Aircraft safety culture is serious.

		I am not talking about this case in isolation, neither am I saying that interference is a factor in this crash, but I am saying that so open acts of war (against our infrastructure, our safety equipment, our manufacturing etc) are spouted as "hybrid warfare" and are being severely downplayed as not to do anything about it, it's just weakness.

ILS approaches don't use GPS.

		In regard to this plane in particular I've meant the packages that get caught on fire in DHL warehouses, besides ILS can be messed with as well, which is why I said EW in addition to GPS.
