Nope, don't fly in any aircraft more than twenty years old in a developing country in bad weather.
Conspiracy theories can be fun, that doesn't make them truthy though.
Questionable pilot training and aircraft maintenance on old aircraft in adverse conditions.
I have piloted junk where the Pilot in Command said 'take over'. Look at the instruments, 'hmm, altimeter, variometer, artificial horizon, compass are FUBAR' , 'how am I navigating? 'Watch the hills, here's my phone, I use google maps'.
Yep, plus better 5G coverage for the rest of us too...
