The crew was rescued from the plane, according to Russia’s Western Military District.A Russian Air Force MiG-31 fighter jet has crashed in the Leningrad region in northwest Russia. The Western Military District of Russia reported the incident, according to several Russian media reports.
The Leningrad region borders on Finland and surrounds the city of St Petersburg.-
On 8 April, during a planned training flight in the Leningrad region, a MiG-31 crashed, the military district said in a press release.Preliminary information suggests that the accident may have been caused by a technical failure.
According to the armed forces, the crew of the plane managed to escape from the fighter.The Western Military District reports that the MiG crashed in an uninhabited area and thus caused no further damage.
The cause of the accident will be investigated.
According to the Russian media Izvestia, a Russian MiG-29 fighter also crashed last August in the Astrakhan region in southern Russia.
On that occasion, the pilot of the plane was killed in the crash. The weather conditions at the time of the crash were challenging.
MiG-31 series fighters were produced in the Soviet Union and Russia between 1979 and 1994. A total of about 500 aircraft were produced, of which about half are still in service. In 2015,
Russia announced that it would modernise its MiG-31 aircraft to extend their service life until at least 2030.
That’s a nat 1 on that intimidation roll, Vladimir, sorry.
That’s one more to the list I guess, some of stuff on this list is batshit crazy though, but not surprising.
“It is all according to the plan”
The MIG didn’t crash, it successfully carried out a special military operation exactly as planned and any one who says differently will be poisoned.
LMAO They literally started losing to the Finnish before they even started war and before Finland even started defending
Snipers 🤫
What a shame. Now they have one airplane less.
Fear factor of being Russian soldier near Finnish border is tremendous
Will they ever stop humiliating themselves?
Russia, are you so desperate to send threats to Finland that you’re using the Japanese kamikaze technique?
If so, EU better start doing something about it, and NATO as well (if both have the courage to actually do something concrete against Putin).
Pilot’s career is Finnished.
we all need more Russian consequences
Russia is finally classifying gravity as Nazi. Whoever supports gravity will be severely punished.
Mission failed.
Oopsie!
Bet it was sent to infringe Finnish airspace but crashed in progress.
“Consider this a warning!!” – Russia probably
Bruh
Finland winning the war without firing a single bullet xD
They use these Jets to carry our their barely hypersonic missiles.
