    Search and rescue operations are in full swing near Varzaqan region, East Azarbaijan Province, where the helicopter of Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi and his entourage crashed earlier on Sunday.

    The operations have continued into the night.

    However, they are being hampered due to darkness coupled with foggy weather conditions and the impassability of the region.

    Bad weather.. mountainous area... night, cold... hardly a chance of survival... plausible deniability all over the place. Russian help may be necessary – they have some experience (cf. the airliner downed by a jet plane).

    High-octane speculation here. But if there was a 'hard landing', one explanation is that the helicopter's avionics (that indicate ground proximity, for instance) malfunctioned.

    In thick fog and bad weather, with the pilot blind and relying entirely on instruments, the heli might then basically fly straight into the ground, undamaged (before the landing) and horizontally stable, but unprepared for any sudden impact. Rather like dropping the thing to the ground from 20 feet up. It'd be like a car hitting a wall at 30 mph.

    There might be sophisticated ways to interfere with a heli's avionics, which might be partially or totally dependent on GPS to establish altitude. Whether the black box would have any record of that, I have no idea. But the heli, the passengers, and its black box will definitely be found pretty soon.

    Slaughter of the innocents
    (19:53)

    George's latest monologue to his MOATS show. He actually says the word "assassination" in relation to the missing helicopter and posits whether this will be the catalyst . . .

    But of course the Iranian President might still be alive.

    Edit: At 6:45 the conversation turns to Ukraine and thereafter returns to Palestine.

    BREAKING: IRANIAN RED CRESCENT REPORTS DIFFICULT SEARCH CONDITIONS

    The head of the Iranian Red Crescent has stated that adverse weather conditions are significantly impeding the search and rescue operations for the president's helicopter.

    The difficult weather, particularly low visibility, has slowed down the efforts in the region, as rescue teams struggle to navigate the challenging environment.

    This update underscores the complex nature of the ongoing rescue mission.

    "All teams are searching with all their might and we are searching at the bottom of the mountain cliff, and the area is mountainous and difficult."

    🔹As you can see, the quality of the video and pictures sent is not good due to bad weather conditions.

    ✍️With such images, it is not possible to find the helicopter of the Iranian president, the ground method is better.
