What happened
During a coordinated training mission involving the Cuban Army, an unidentified aircraft was struck by an S-75 Dvina surface-to-air missile. The impact caused the plane to lose stability and enter an uncontrolled descent. The aircraft subsequently crashed into a field located in the vicinity of Jaruco.
All five crew members on board perished in the accident. There were no survivors from the flight.
Findings
Investigations concluded that the destruction of the aircraft was the result of an error by ground forces, as the plane was mistakenly shot down by Cuban military units during the course of their combat exercises.
