The most unusual thing in the history of the Sakhalin incident is that out of almost 300 people who flew on the Boeing, NOT a SINGLE body was found! But they had to be there, fastened to the chairs as to anchors, or had to surface if they had time to put on life jackets. During the entire search, a clump of hair and an allegedly torn off hand in a sleeve and glove were photographed. Everything! Where are the passengers? After all, the fact that they died is for sure, but where are their bodies?
The bottom in the area of the alleged Boeing crash site is as flat as a table, and the depth does not exceed 120 m, which implies the normal operation of divers and, moreover, rescue underwater vehicles. Two years later, exactly the same Boeing-747 of the Indian airline exploded in the sky over the Atlantic at an altitude of 10 km. On the first day of the search, the bodies of 123 passengers were found, the next day 8 more, and 4 months later, during deep-sea research, another one strapped to the seat.
The democratic press, which supported the version of the insidiousness of the Soviet Union, claims that the bodies were eaten by sea crustaceans. However, according to William Newmann, professor of marine biology at one of the major California universities, “even if we assume that crustaceans or sharks or someone else pounced on the flesh, skeletons should have remained. During the day, skeletons that had lain there for many years and even decades have been found. Moreover, the crustaceans will not touch the bones. " James Oberg, author of Investigating Soviet Catastrophes, also ruled out the possibility that crustaceans were involved. "The water is cold there, sea creatures are therefore much less active than, say, in tropical waters. And, therefore, the possibility of preserving remains is higher than if the plane crashed in one of the warm seas."
No less unusual than the absence of bodies seems to be the strange nature of the wreckage. The divers did not find a single burnt item. And the composition of the finds gave the impression that the plane was loaded by someone with random, already unnecessary things.
One of the divers told the journalists of the Izvestia newspaper: “I have a completely clear impression: the plane was filled with garbage, and most likely there were no people there. Why? Well, if a plane crashes, even a small one, as a rule, there should be suitcases, handbags, at least handles from suitcases … pieces of it were torn out. Or as if shot through - pierced in many places. I personally have not seen any remains. We have been working for almost a month! And practically nothing. There were also few worn things - there were very few jackets, raincoats, shoes. And what they found was some kind of rags! They found, say, a scattering of powder boxes. They remained intact, opened. But, oddly enough, everyone has mirrors broken inside. The plastic cases are completely intact, and the mirrors are all broken. Or umbrellas: all in covers, in whole covers - not even torn. What kind of blow was it supposed to be ?!"
No less curious is the story of Vladimir Zakharchenko, head of the diving service of the Arcticmorneftegazrazvedka production association: “The depth there was 174 meters. The ground is even, dense - sand and a small shell. Without any difference in depth. And literally on the third day we found the plane. I had an idea that it would be whole. Well, maybe a little crumpled. The divers will go inside this plane and everyone will see what is there …”The special ship“Sprut”was working at an even more interesting facility. Unfortunately, civilian divers don't understand much about airplanes. All they understood was that there were a lot of magnetic recording equipment and devices on board. The divers were struck by three main points: first, the abundance of electronic devices, which is absolutely exorbitant for a liner - a whole truck, which clearly exceeds the volume of electronics on a passenger plane; secondly, kilometers of magnetic tape on reels and "loose", entangling everything around; thirdly, there is an abundance of paper, not newspapers or bright magazines that the passenger takes on the flight, namely A4 sheets with some kind of official documentation. We found a large number of “black boxes”: “It was a bright red ball the size of a volleyball”; "They looked like big donuts"; "They were shaped like a horseshoe"; "There were 7 of them." The head of the search, Admiral Sidorov, said: "There were 9 of them." It was clearly not from one aircraft, and certainly not from KAL 007. (Reference: Boeing 747 black boxes are two orange waterproof shockproof blocks measuring 20x5x8 and 13x5x8 inches with a transmitter to find them; they record the last 30 minutes of pilots talk and last 24 hours of flight data; built into the base of the stabilizer in the tail section, the safest place in case of disasters.) And, again, no bodies. By that time, the bodies of the crew of this aircraft had already been lifted out of the water by someone who arrived at the scene first. There is information that it was a border guard patrol boat.
Of course, we will not find out about what the Americans raised from the bottom. And here - about the Japanese finds.
These were details of US combat aircraft: a fired American-made McDonnell-Douglas ACES II ejection seat, most likely from an F-15 fighter; aileron of the EF-111 electronic warfare aircraft; a fragment of the wing, again, of the American strategic reconnaissance aircraft SR-71. As they say, there are no words. Moreover, there can be no mistake in identifying the fragments. The EF-111 ailerons have a unique, inherent configuration, and the only combat aircraft with titanium skin in 1983 was the SR-71. A well-known French specialist - a man whose profession is the investigation of plane crashes - the Frenchman Michel Brune, relying on his many years of experience and versatile professional training, conducted his own investigation. Based on the available data, he claims that that night in the skies over Sakhalin there was a real air battle, a missile was not launched from Osipovich's plane on an accidentally lost Korean liner, namely, a fierce battle between Soviet and American military aircraft, with downed and losses of at least American side. During this battle, which lasted several hours, a group of a dozen American aircraft: scouts of various types, electronic jammers, escort fighters, which deliberately invaded the airspace of the USSR, was destroyed by Soviet air defense pilots, who honorably defended the inviolability of the country's borders.

But let's continue. So, in the place of the alleged fall of the liner, debris confirming its fall was not found. But, 8 days after the tragedy, pieces of casing, debris, the remains of luggage were thrown in large quantities on the Japanese coast of the island of Honshu, they were found in Hokkaido. The explanation was given as follows: "material evidence" from the deceased Boeing drifted downstream and thus "sailed" to the Japanese coast from the north, from the place where the downed plane fell. Everything seems to be logical. Except for one very significant circumstance - at the end of August and in September in the area of Moneron Island and Sakhalin there is not a single current that would drive waves from north to south. Only from south to north! And, add to this, according to the weather reports, at that time a steady wind was blowing towards the mainland. And how then could pieces of Boeing and material evidence reach Japan against the wind and against the current? After all, nature does not play with political secrets, so there can be only one explanation: the wreckage of the passenger Boeing was drifted to the Japanese shores and Sakhalin in a real current, not an imaginary one - from north to south, but real - from south to north. Therefore, the liner broke into the sea much south of Moneron.
Until now, the mystery of another find that sailed to Wakkanai in Hokkaido along with the wreckage of a South Korean Boeing, remained unanswered - the remains of the tail of a combat missile with not Soviet markings. There was even an official press release about this find, but it was never issued, and the material evidence itself is kept with seven seals at the Maritime Safety Directorate in Wakkanai. For some reason, such an unprecedented fact as the direction of a special aircraft of the American Navy, which is usually used in rescue operations, to the square of the Sea of Japan, far from Moneron, does not raise any questions. This flight, recorded by Japanese radars, took place at the same time and in the very place where the South Korean Boeing really lies - near the Japanese island of Kyurokushima, near the island of Sado. Neither before nor after the fateful day, the American military did not appear there, but two weeks after the Boeing disaster - September 13, 1983 - for some reason, it was here that Soviet reconnaissance aircraft violated Japanese airspace, to which Japanese fighters were sent to intercept … Thus, nothing happened over Sakhalin with the KAL 007 liner. And further.
In addition, quite naturally, the CIA wasn’t the only one recording airborne communications. The recording was carried out on a completely routine basis by the flight control service in Tokyo and Niigata, albeit on other frequencies allocated to civil aviation, due to which, apparently, the hands of the CIA did not reach it. So, it turned out that KAL 007, allegedly shot down at 03.38 Tokyo time, calmly went on the air 50 minutes after its "death", and did not go out in emergency, as it would be in case of damage, but in a routine mode.
He was at the time of broadcasting at the last checkpoint on the way to Seoul, located abeam Niigata near Sado Island, that is, almost over the Korea Strait, and he had no more than an hour to fly before landing. And then his mark disappeared from Niigata's radar screen. KAL 007 did not arrive in Seoul. It is now as clear as day that Colonel Osipovich did not shoot down the Korean liner. Returning directly to KAL 007, there is no doubt that Captain Chun Ben-Ying's crew was apparently recruited by the CIA or US military intelligence to participate in a major intelligence operation. They had to "get confused" in the sky over Kamchatka with the RC-135 reconnaissance aircraft - after all, their configuration is so similar that the most experienced eye at night will not distinguish them from each other. After that, Chun rolled to the side and left Soviet airspace, skirting Sakhalin from the east and entering Japanese over the La Perouse Strait. In turn, RC-135, "pretending" to be a peaceful liner, crossed the cherished goal - Sakhalin, not without reason believing that the Russians would not shoot at it! At the same time, counting on the disorganization of the Soviet air defense, several more American vehicles, including the EF-111 and SR-71, had to do their espionage. These also had a "seat belt" - high speed and ceiling. But the Soviet air defense was clearly underestimated. As you can see, our soldiers and officers quickly figured out who is who. And what about the Boeing KAL007? And after this carnage, he simply had no right to survive, which was clearly not told to Captain Chun and his crew. On such an account, it was simply necessary to insure with the help of an interceptor on duty. And when the failure of the operation became obvious, the Americans literally hid all the ends in the water.
And this is no longer a version. In 1997, a former senior Japanese military intelligence official stated that the South Korean Boeing 747 was on a mission from the American intelligence services. Details of this event are set out in the book The Truth About the KAL-007 Flight, written by retired officer Yoshiro Tanaka, who until his retirement supervised electronic wiretapping of Soviet military installations from a tracking station in Wakkanai, in the very north of Hokkaido Island. It was this object, by the way, that recorded the negotiations of Soviet pilots who were chasing a South Korean plane on the night of August 31 to September 1, 1983.
Tanaka based his statements on the analysis of data on the extremely strange route of the liner, as well as on information provided by Russia to ICAO in 1991 about Soviet radio communications in connection with this incident. As a result of his own research, the former Japanese intelligence officer concluded that the American intelligence services deliberately sent a South Korean passenger plane into Soviet airspace in order to cause a commotion in the USSR air defense system and reveal its classified and usually silent objects. According to Tanaka, the United States at that time made every effort to collect information about the Soviet air defense in the Far East, which in 1982 was modernized and significantly strengthened. American reconnaissance aircraft used to regularly violate Soviet airspace in the area of the sinking of the South Korean Boeing-747, but they could fly there only for a very short time. That is why, the Japanese expert believed, a passenger airliner was chosen for the operation, which, according to the US intelligence services, could fly over Soviet air defense facilities for a long time and with impunity.
The final part will be a reconstructed chronology of events and a separate version from the former ICAO Deputy Representative in Montreal.
