"But at that moment, a strange sound came from outside the plane,” he said. “As a result of the impact that occurred on the outside of the plane, I got a cut on my hand.”

Hella lucky, that dude.

A bit to the side - and shrapnel impactor from SAM might've gone through his heart or head.

Additionally, according to Caliber, the aircraft's communication systems were entirely disabled by Russian electronic warfare (EW) systems, rendering it effectively blind and causing it to vanish from radar while over Russian airspace.

It certainly seems that russia hoped that plane'd crash into Caspian Sea - after all, all traces could've been dealt with with a plausible deniability, had this happened. A single Kh-101/Kalibr, during the next missile wave, overflying the region and falling where the plane fell - "well, stuff happens" and nothing would've been recovered afterwards.

The pilots of this plane were absolute heroes, managing to bring it to Aktau and keep some passengers alive upon landing

How does it make sense that all communication systems were dead and they vanished from radar, with russia denying landing clearance on russian airports and hoping they would crash into the caspian sea + it would be way easier to let evidence disappear on russian ground. Something doenst add up.
