Moscow is not only losing fighter jets in air strikes in the Russian war of aggression against Ukraine. Sometimes there are also domestic reasons.
In Russia, a fighter plane belonging to the Ministry of Defense has crashed for the second time this week. A Sukhoi Su-34 fighter bomber crashed in a deserted area in the Volgograd region during a scheduled training flight. The pilots ejected from the plane and are alive, the ministry said. The crash is believed to have a technical cause. No details were given. There were apparently no missiles on board.
On Thursday, a Mi-28 combat helicopter crashed in the Kaluga region. The two occupants died, according to the ministry. There was also a technical reason for the crash. Mi-28s are used in Russia’s war of aggression against Ukraine, for example, to destroy enemy tanks and armored vehicles.
Russia has already lost dozens of aircraft in combat operations in its war against Ukraine, which has been going on for more than two years. Ukrainian air defense repeatedly reports the shooting down of Russian fighter jets and helicopters. There have also been Ukrainian attacks on Russian bases in which aircraft have also been destroyed.
