A video of the interrogation of detained pilot Alexander Morozov, who was piloting a Ukrainian light plane that crashed in the Bryansk region, has emerged. The entry was posted by the Baza Telegram channel.
The man is a resident of the city of Merefa, Kharkiv region. According to him, he did not know that he was flying over the territory of the Russian Federation.
He performed the task of flying low behind the leader and taking pictures when given such an order.
“We are flying south along the route of the Kiev region, south,” Morozov described in his decree.
He was promised to be paid 50,000 hryvnias (108,970 rubles) for his work. Takeoff, as the pilot said, took place from an old site of one of the abandoned enterprises.
Its companion aircraft was of the same type of light engine. According to the pilot, he had to make a test flight at low altitude to check the functioning of Russian air defense.
