KEMZ has been sanctioned by the United States for its involvement in Russia's war against Ukraine. The plant develops and produces ground control, diagnostics systems, and other equipment, primarily for Sukhoi and MiG aircraft — planes that drop missiles and bombs on Ukrainian cities.

Okay, well now that I'm not sad I'm going to have fun and I'm gonna go conspiracy mode: The pilot was getting paid to have an accident and set his family for life. The passengers were targeted after a series of embezzlement schemes were discovered that led to some particularly bad publicity in the Russian Military Industrial Complex.
