What happened
A cargo mission originating from Dzhankoi, Crimea, ended in a fatal accident while approaching the destination of Teseney. The aircraft, a four-engine transport plane, was tasked with delivering a shipment of food supplies. As the flight was executing its final approach to the runway, it was struck by two Strela surface-to-air missiles. The impact caused the aircraft to crash in flames a few hundred meters before reaching the runway threshold.
The accident resulted in eight fatalities, with all occupants on board losing their lives. There were no survivors reported from the wreckage.
Findings
Investigations into the crash determined that the primary cause of the destruction was the impact of two Strela SAMs hitting the aircraft during the landing phase.
