The truth? Time will tell, but the official story does not smell right.

What country would put so many important people on ONE plane? Not happening, IMO.

How does the above link demonstrate such intimate knowledge in this particular case? How does he know that the "Smolensk airbase [was] not included in the database"?

(She, actually.) But to answer your question, I originally got my information about the TAWS database from the same place I learned the aircraft had a TAWS in the first place, namely pilots on a pilots forum. But, since there's some skepticism here, I went ahead and checked for myself. The Universal TAWS database listing is available here:

The airport code is UUBS. I didn't find it.

In case the pilots are wrong about the aircraft having a Universal TAWS, I checked and the Honeywell EGPWS also does not have this airport.

So because you couldn't find the airport code, you think it's fair to assume that no data of the terrain was uploaded into the system? A terrain that apparently has no steep incline no less I suppose because the Russian's aren't stupid enough to put an airbase on a hill or in a valley? Do you think we're stupid? Or are you just some shill posing as a sedevacantist?
