A su 25 attack aircraft fell in the seaside. The pilot ejected, there was no significant destruction on the ground. Andrey Babichev, local resident of the village of Novoselsky

The pilots of the Su-25UB crashed in the Stavropol Territory were killed. This was reported by the Russian Ministry of Defense. The department said that the pilots did not have time to eject.

“The commission of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation, working at the site of the crash of the Su-25UB aircraft in the Stavropol Territory, established the death of two pilots. The pilots did not manage to eject, ”the statement reads.

The fragments of the parachute found at the site of the emergency belong to the aircraft, and not to the pilots, RIA Novosti reported, citing a source in the security forces.

At the crash site there were also a flight recorder and a parameter recording device. This was reported to RIA Novosti with reference to a source of emergency services. It is noted that both devices are in satisfactory condition.

"According to preliminary data, the state of the on-board voice recorder and the device for recording flight parameters is satisfactory," the agency's interlocutor said.

TASS, referring to a representative of the military circles, reported on two possible reasons for the incident being considered by the investigation - a pilot error and a technical malfunction. At the same time, according to an agency source in aviation circles, the Su-25UB was technically sound, and the weather conditions were good.

Earlier, TASS said that the military prosecutor's office of the Southern Military District after the plane crash.

“The military prosecutor’s office is checking the observance of the flight rules and preparation for them. Military prosecutors went to the scene, there is no other information, ”a representative of the prosecutor’s office told TASS.

"Fell in a deserted area"

Su-25UB crashed on Tuesday, September 3 in the Stavropol Territory - according to RIA Novosti, the accident occurred 38 km from the Budyonnovsk airfield. The Ministry of Defense reported that the plane was performing a training flight without ammunition.

“The flight was carried out without ammunition. The plane crashed in a deserted area, there is no destruction on the ground, ”the ministry said in a statement.

The Su-25 is a Russian attack aircraft, and the UB is its two-seat combat training version. According to a TASS source in the power structures of the Stavropol Territory, the pilots practiced a loop and could not take the plane out of the dive.

“The flights were carried out to practice aerobatics. When performing a loop, the pilots did not take the plane out of the dive and collided with the ground. The plane entered the ground to a depth of three meters, ”the agency's interlocutor said.

According to TASS, the pilots who controlled the Su-25UB graduated from the Krasnodar Higher Military Aviation School of Pilots. One of them graduated in 2003, the other in 2011, added an agency source in military circles.

"Rook"

A similar accident occurred in the Stavropol Territory at the end of February 2016. Then the Su-25 of the 368th Assault Aviation Regiment of the Russian Aerospace Forces under the control of Major Alexander Kurikalov crashed during a training flight.

The pilot died during the bailout. Like the attack aircraft that crashed on September 3, Kurikalov's plane was without ammunition and fell in a deserted area.

A month later, there was another incident with an aircraft of this model. Su-25 of the 18th Assault Aviation Regiment "Normandy-Niemen" of the Russian Aerospace Forces crashed while landing at the Chernigovka airfield in the Primorsky Territory. The plane destroyed the garage, shed and cellar of a local resident, but the pilot himself escaped - he managed to eject.

The Su-25 attack aircraft was developed by the Sukhoi Design Bureau in the 1970s. It made its first flight in 1979, and a year later received its baptism of fire during the Afghan war. At the height of the conflict, the plane was adopted by the USSR. Soviet pilots nicknamed the Su-25 "Rook". The number of sorties during the Afghan campaign is about 60 thousand.

Attack aircraft are designed for a relatively low speed, and therefore often become a target for enemy air defense. In this regard, the Su-25 has a significant margin of safety - during the tests, the pilots planted aircraft with damage to the wing, fuel tanks, landing gear, airframe and even one of the two engines. Subsequently, these aircraft were in service with many countries in Africa, Latin America, Eastern Europe and the CIS countries.

In total, about 1.3 thousand Su-25s were produced. Since 2000, according to open sources, there have been nine incidents with Russian attack aircraft, resulting in the death of five people. Another 15 aircraft and 10 pilots are losses during hostilities.

VLADIVOSTOK, 30 March - RIA Novosti, Svetlana Zadera. The crash of the Su-25 in the Primorsky Territory drew the country's attention to the village of Chernigovka, whose residents cannot be denied resourcefulness, mutual assistance and a desire to communicate with journalists.

The Su-25 attack aircraft during a training flight crashed on Wednesday in Primorye, falling on a site in a Primorsky village. The pilot managed to eject before the fall, he was not injured. There are no casualties or injuries among the local residents. According to preliminary data, the incident occurred due to the failure of both aircraft engines.

Curious saleswomen

The quiet central street of the village of Chernigovka is too crowded. A Su-25 plane fell into the building near the house at the very corner of the intersection. The territory of the house is surrounded by the military, you just can't approach it, a person must definitely prove that he lives there.

On the other side of the intersection, traffic police officers and journalists were crowded. The latter are not allowed close to the house with a camera, so they shoot across the road from different sides, there are no other options. The correspondents were lucky with the location of the house - there is a store opposite it with a large parking lot, so there was enough space for everyone.

There is a stereotype that shops in villages are the main source of information and the latest news, but in Chernigovka everything is different.

“We didn’t see anything. And even when everything happened, we didn’t even think to leave the store,” the saleswomen noted.

The story of the chicken fighter

The main character of the impromptu event was the injured owner of the house, Alexander Chervyak, he went to the journalists and willingly talked about what had happened.

“I was sitting in the summer kitchen drinking tea, and at this time I hear such strong pops, noise, and then a roar, well, like an explosion. And I also say that these planes are already flying over the rooftops, and they are constantly landing here. And then I look: the flame, I can see through the window, the buildings are burning. I went out, I looked: everything was already destroyed, the flame. I went straight to the garage - the wall had already started to burn, I drove the car out. The car was not damaged, it got a little smoke. , military ", - said the owner of the house.

Aleksandr Chervyak had all his supplies burned down: potatoes, feed. Despite this, the pensioner is positively disposed, because the garden has not suffered, and he is also proudly talking about his fighting chicken.

"The plane fell into the cellar, and there were bursting cartridges ... Chickens burned out - 50 pieces, one escaped - well done, jumped out", - the pensioner rejoices.

Alexander Chervyak is sure that he will not go hungry - the neighbors will always help. Moreover, they promised to compensate him for all the burnt property.

"With all the buildings, I estimate the damage at 3 million rubles - to build a new one. The general promised me that everything will be removed, everything will be built for me, they will be reimbursed. He said:" We are waiting for the Moscow commission, "the pensioner added.

Deputy Governor Alexander Los came to visit Alexander Chervyak, who headed the task force, which, on behalf of the governor of the Primorsky Territory, worked at the site of the crash of the plane.

Uninvited guests

Local residents constantly approached the intersection, especially there were many mothers with strollers and boys. The latter, after training in army hand-to-hand combat, crowded and watched the work of journalists. Before that, they followed the firefighters who extinguished the plane. Since, in their opinion, nothing interesting happened anymore, they decided to take the journalist and photographer by a roundabout way to the victim's neighbors.

"The plane is clearly visible from the house," they argued.

It turned out that there are very large gardens in this village, so nothing could be seen from the house opposite where Eduard Pozdnyakov lives, but he himself not only noticed the accident, but also helped to save the property of a neighbor.

"The pilot fell over the road into the gardens. The plane began to burn even beyond the river. The first explosion was there, his left wing, the left engine caught fire. He turned abruptly. At first he went straight to the airfield, but when the left side caught fire, he was carried here, thrown out The plane went sideways, and then fell "face" down. I didn't even hook the wires, "Pozdnyakov said.

The electricity was cut off when the firefighters arrived, but by evening the lights were on.

"We immediately ran to help. We took out the refrigerator, plates, because there is a lot of rubbish in the garage. A fireman arrived and the military dispersed us. The buildings were not completely burned, only the corner of a small shed," Eduard said.

From his garden, except for two attentive military men, nothing could be seen. The boys suggested that it was possible to get through the adjoining territories of neighboring houses, located on the same line with the victim.

It turned out that all the neighbors were at home and were watching the situation themselves, so it was not difficult to overcome the five private plots. In the village, fences are only at the houses, you can safely walk around the garden, as if it is common. The military had a good view, and the journalists had to make their way through the fences. As soon as the photographer found a good place to shoot on the neighbor's plot, a young man in uniform immediately went to her, covered the lens with his hand and asked to leave.

Dress-up trick

At this time, another resident of the affected house with friends decided to earn money. They suggested that the journalist or photographer introduce herself as the girl of the alleged owner of the house, go with him past the military and take pictures from the window. They took a little for this service - about 300 rubles.

“So, go take off your jacket from your boys,” businessmen quickly began to invent elements of conspiracy.

The photographer was taken out with a large jacket so that she could hide the photographic equipment, but still failed to enter the closed area.

"Girl, we remember you right away!" - the military said laughing. In addition to the employees of the department, the regional administration and the residents of the house, no one was able to pass them by.
