#J28243 took off from Baku at 03:55 UTC time and was flying to Grozny. In video footage, the plane can be seen entering a steep descent toward Aktau and even banking to the right. Given for how long the plane had been flying, was it out of fuel (I doubt it, since the angle of descent likely wouldnt be that steep)?
