Default Russia-out of control A321, fake deice fluid?

https://nypost.com/2021/12/03/hero-p...g-for-5-hours/

-Fuselage severely caked with ice shortly after takeoff

-Captain was unable to jettison fuel (probably because the A321 has no fuel dump system )

-aircraft flew for 5 hours

-claims made that a counterfeit deice spray was used

Counterfeit de-icing fluid?

Like counterfeit blue jeans and counterfeit CDs. Very common from China. Falsification of records is also very common in Russia and the other former Soviet Union countries.

Typical over-dramatized article by the media... That "harrowing" 5.5 hrs of "out-of-control" flight. GMAFB

Air Astana 1388 was mostly out of control, in a quite harrowing situation, for 2 hours; is that short enough to meet your requirements?
