According to military information, a Russian medium-sized bomber Tupolew TU-22m3 crashed on a training flight in Siberia.
The crew of four men had catapulted himself from the plane that a pilot was killed, said the Ministry of Defense in Moscow.
According to this information, the machine crashed over the uninhabited area in the Irkutsk region and opened on the ground in flames. Technical failure is suspected as the cause of the accident.
Plane cut streamline
The governor of the IRKUTSK area, Igor Kobsew, said that the aircraft had cut off a streamline, so that more than 200 houses were without electricity. According to his information, the Tupolew crashed near the Belaya Air Force Base in the village of Buret – about 100 kilometers north of Irkutsk.
Russia has also armed this type of bomber with marching aircraft (NATO name Backfire-C) for attacks on Ukraine.
