it was flying (at) 300m and suddenly fell down into the sea
This is something I find really strange.

The last clearance they received was direct LANET, cleared LANET ILS 33, descend 4000 feet (source: the same as my earlier post).

Looking at the approach plate for the LANET ILS 33, they were on or near the 11DME arc. The plate shows establishing on the ILS at or above 2000ft. (There is a copy of the approach plate on the link that Radi posted.)

Based on those two pieces of information, they should have been nowhere near 1000ft (300m). Were they below the flightpath or did someone just imagine that they saw the a/c at 1000ft?
