CBC reports today that the Soyuz accident was caused by a faulty sensor.

A Soyuz rocket and spacecraft blast off on Oct. 11, 2018. The rocket
failed two minutes into the launch, forcing the spacecraft carrying two
astronauts to make an emergency landing. The failure has been traced to
a collision between two rocket stages caused by a faulty sensor. (Dmitri
Lovetsky/Associated Press)

So, the bent pin theory, and all the premature blame assigned to
westerners to poor quality control and bad culture etc may have been
premature.

It could very well be the Russians claiming it was a sensor problem to
hide bad quality control and bent pin. or not.


You don't read simple declarative English, do you?
