The bulk of the debris from the crashed Turkish military C-130 aircraft has been successfully repatriated to Türkiye for a thorough technical examination. The wreckage, recovered from the crash site near the Azerbaijan-Georgia border, is now slated for analysis at the Ministry of National Defense's 2nd Air Maintenance Factory Directorate located in Kayseri, a key facility for such detailed air accident investigations.
Concurrently, the crucial process of decoding the aircraft's flight recorders, commonly known as the black box, is now underway. The Turkish Aerospace Industry (TUSAS) is handling the initial analysis of the data, which is expected to provide vital clues about the final moments of the flight. National Defense Minister Yaşar Güler indicated that obtaining preliminary findings from the recorders could take approximately two months.
Minister Güler provided some initial insights after a Cabinet meeting, stating, "According to preliminary findings, although not certain, the tail section breaks off first. Then it splits into three parts. These will be clarified by the black box." The specialized crash investigation team, deployed immediately after the incident, is continuing its work at the actual crash site and is expected to remain there until the upcoming weekend.
The Turkish Air Force cargo plane went down on November 11, resulting in the tragic loss of all 20 military personnel aboard. The movement of the wreckage to a controlled environment in Kayseri marks a significant phase in the investigation, moving from field recovery to a laboratory-style technical dissection aimed at determining the definitive cause of the crash.
