Malaysian Flight MH370 News, Latest Update: Expert Discusses Russian Hijacking Possibility
The Malaysian Airlines flight MH370 is still missing up to this day. With over a year since its disappearance, countless theories and speculations arise pointing out to the reason behind its seemingly mysterious dematerialization.
The most recent analysis indicates the involvement of Russia which as what this aviation expert claims was carried out by its natives.
A report from Express U.K. cited Jeff Wise, who looks back at the existing data and re-evaluates them. It leads him to believe that "someone with 'sophisticated' knowledge" may have gotten their hands on the plane's flight data.

His suspicions particularly fell on Russia who, as Wise believes, has advanced knowledge in the aviation industry. With this at hand, it would be easy for them to make alterations on MH370's flight data.
Wise went on to specify that the three Russian nationals who were reportedly seen boarding the missing aircraft could have executed the plan of gaining access to the aircraft's satellite transmission and maybe took over the flight controls.
"There were three ethnically Russian men aboard MH370," Wise told South China Morning Post. "They definitely struck me as the sort who might battle Liam Neeson in mid-air."
The tampering, as he explained, would serve the purpose of confusing search operatives.
"That would require an almost inconceivably sophisticated hijack operation, one so complicated and technically demanding that it would almost certainly need state-level backing," he said. "This was true conspiracy-theory material."
Jan. 29 of this year, the Malaysian Department of Civil aviation ruled out the disappearance of the Boeing 777 aircraft as an "accident based on international aviation rules," The Malaysian Insider wrote. All of its 239 passengers and its in-flight crew were declared by the agency as dead.
The search for the missing flight was funded by multiple countries including Australia, China, and Malaysia.
