It looks like August is indeed becoming a fateful month for civil and military aviation. Here is another (fifth!) Emergency. A Su-24 bomber fell near Perm.
It happened in a wooded area, and the pilots (thank God!) Ejected, they were quickly found by rescuers and taken to the hospital by helicopter. Both pilots refused to go to the examination, saying that they feel fine. Well, as often happens in such cases, there is informational confusion.
The Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation says that the plane flew for scheduled repairs to Perm. Some news agencies report that the Su-24 was “performing a planned flight.”
The press service of the Central Military District says that “the plane was involved in the exercises of the 21st mixed aviation division.”
Well, okay, the most important question still remains – what caused the combat vehicle to crash? So far, only a version is being discussed – “technical problems of the bomber.”
Although this, of course, does not mean anything. Another thing sounds much clearer – the failure of technology.
