What happened
During a scheduled flight operated for the Ministry of Industry and Aviation (MAP – Ministerstvo Aviatsionnoi Promyshlennosti), the crew encountered difficulties that necessitated an immediate change in flight profile. While in transit, the crew was compelled to decrease their altitude and execute an unplanned emergency landing within a field.
Although the landing resulted in the aircraft being damaged beyond repair, there were no injuries reported among those on board. The specific circumstances that led to the necessity of the descent and subsequent landing remain unconfirmed.
Findings
The exact reason for the forced altitude reduction and the decision to land in a field has not yet been determined.
