What happened
During a scheduled local training mission at the Ivanovo-Severny Air Base, an aircraft crashed while attempting to complete its landing sequence. The incident occurred under the cover of darkness and amidst challenging weather conditions. As the crew was performing the final approach, the pilot initiated a go-around maneuver. During this transition, the aircraft lost necessary altitude and struck the ground.
The impact resulted in the total destruction of the airframe. There were no survivors among the personnel on board, with a total of seven fatalities recorded.
Findings
Investigations into the crash indicated that the maneuver was compromised by aerodynamic factors. The primary contributing factor was that the aircraft speed was too low to safely sustain flight during the execution of the go-around procedure.
