This is the last crash in a series of accidents with Russian aircraft that took place the last month:
- On August 23, a MiG-29SMT crashed in Astrakhan region.
- On August 18, another MiG-29SMT crashed in the same Astrakhan region.
- On August 17, an IL-112B crashed not far from Moscow.
- On August 14, the Russian Be-200 crashed in Turkey.
- On August 11, a Mi-8 crashed in Kamchatka.
- On July 31, a Su-35 crashed in the Khabarovsk Krai.
At least the crew got out alright. Su-24’s not new, whatever issue requiring repair probably sank it
What the hell is going on?
I would guess that it’s lack of or bad maintenance.
Wrong. Russia has a better readyness now than the U.S. and EU. With around 75% Its 60% in the U.S. And only 25-30% in the EU depending on country.
Better than burning Americant and EU tincans crashing left and right
The jet was en route for maintenance. I guess they pushed it a bit too hard for fun. It happens.
Another Anti-Slav/Russophobe racist. Everyone knows your type are generally displaced Khazars.
This aircraft is as old as me or older. If it were an American aircraft it would be dropping out of the skies constantly.
Worry rather about U.S. and ukropnazi jets crashing left and right. Around 40+ in the past 3 years in total Oy oy… And a few Isisraeli too… Koshernazis won’t be happy…
U.S.lost 40jets and helos in the past 3 years. Eu around 15 Ukraine doesn’t even have working jets anymore. Russian crash rate is well below western tincans.
These crash rates are well below that of the U.S. Would be a mistake to overthink it.
Standard troll trash coming from Herzliya.
Damn. I missed the salvage party. I could use those parts …
