Russian bomber crashed into a crowded building in Siberia

A Russian Tu-22M3 bomber crashed in the Irkutsk region during a training flight. According to Russia's defense ministry, the crew safely ejected before impact. The incident was reported by Interfax and The Moscow Times. Initial reports suggest technical issues may have caused the crash. The bomber, which can carry both conventional and nuclear weapons, did not have combat-ready warheads onboard according to the ministry. Witnesses reportedly saw the plane crash near the city of Svirsk.

Venäjän puolustusministeriö kertoo hävittäjän putoamisesta.

Venäjän asevoimien Tu-22M3 -pommikone syöksyi maahan Irkutskin alueella, kertovat uutistoimisto Interfax ja The Moscow Times.

– Miehistö hyppäsi ulos, tiedottaa Venäjän puolustusministeriö. Ministeriön mukaan lentäjät selvisivät ehjin nahoin.

Venäläismediassa ja Telegram -ryhmissä leviävällä videolla näkyy, miten hävittäjä syöksyy nokka edellä kohti maata, minkä jälkeen ilmaan nousee paksu savupilvi. Toisella videolla kerrotaan näkyvän koneen palava hylky.

Kone tuli ministeriön mukaan alas kesken harjoituslennon. Venäläismedia kertoo alustavaksi putoamissyyksi teknisen vian.

Tu-22M3 on pitkän kantaman yliäänikone, joka kykenee kantamaan niin tavanomaisia ohjuksia kuin ydinkärkiä. Hävittäjässä ei puolustusministeriön mukaan ollut taistelukärkiä.

Moscow Timesin mukaan silminnäkijät kertovat venäläismedioille koneen tulleen alas lähellä Svirskin kaupunkia.
