  1. Hm.

    * Business as usual, until now just underreported?
    * Sanctions at work?
    * Lack of skilled pilots?
    * Sabotage?
    * Other?

  2. 9th Russian crash this year. (or 10th, with the Ruble…)

  3. >It is reported that during landing at the end of the training flight, the aircraft did not hit the runway but hit the ground

    An important distinction. There was a thread here somewhere about the lack of maintenance and tiring airframes in Russia, hopefully this is just the start.

  4. Wonder if the engines are finally giving out. It was speculated that maintenance has been skipped due to flight hrs and we might start to see either more plane crashes due to lack of maintenance or that they would pull most planes off rotation for desperately need maintenance. I’m betting on the first
