Russia lost one of its irreplaceable Tu-95 nuclear-capable bombers in a deadly training crash
Six of the seven crew members on board died in the crash in Far Eastern Amur, the defense ministry said.
A Russian Tu-95 nuclear-capable bomber tragically crashed during a training flight in eastern Russia, resulting in the deaths of six crew members. The incident occurred at a base near Krasnoyarovo and is a significant blow to Russia's nuclear bomber fleet, which is no longer in production. The plane, not carrying any ammunition, crashed shortly after taking off, with a seventh crew member surviving the initial crash and being hospitalized.
The Amur region, where the crash took place, borders China's Heilongjiang province. Russian officials have not disclosed the cause of the crash.
