The publication also noted that on the evening of January 16, an An-148-100EM aircraft from the Russian Ministry of Emergency Situations took off from Grozny, information about which was available on the FlightRadar service. This aircraft is used as a "flying hospital," equipped with six beds for patients and medical modules to provide assistance during the flight. At the same time, Ramzan Kadyrov's personal Airbus also departed from Grozny, which, according to FlightRadar data, left the airport shortly before midnight, turning off its transponder and turning it back on only near Volgograd. The same aircraft had previously returned from Dubai.
According to "Agency," online maps show that in the center of Grozny, near the presumed accident site, roads were blocked. Additionally, there were significant traffic jams near the republican hospital, where, according to media reports, Adam Kadyrov may have been taken immediately after the accident.
The publication "Caucasus.Reality," citing its sources, reports that 18-year-old Adam Kadyrov was driving the vehicle leading the convoy at high speed. Sources claim that the car crashed into a barrier; one of them reported that Adam regained consciousness, and doctors do not see any threat to his life. He was later transported to Grozny airport along with medical personnel.
The opposition channel Niyso previously claimed that UFC fighter Khamzat Chimaev died as a result of the accident, but this information was refuted. Pro-government channels and the news agency "Chechnya Today," based on anonymous sources, reported that Chimaev is in Dubai and "is doing fine." So far, there have been no official comments regarding the accident and Adam Kadyrov's involvement in it. Chimaev's last Instagram post was made on January 13.
According to "Fortanga," Adam Kadyrov sustained serious injuries. It was also reported that among the injured in the accident could be Adam's bodyguards — Bislan Kaimov, Shamil Iraskhanov, and Apti Iraskhanov.
