What happened
During an agricultural mission involving crop spraying for a local sovkhoz in the Bryansk oblast, an aircraft crashed into a field. The flight was being conducted at a low altitude when the pilot-in-command attempted to execute a turn. During this maneuver, the crew lost control of the plane, leading to a high-impact collision with the ground. The impact resulted in the total destruction of the aircraft.
Both members of the flight crew sustained serious injuries during the crash. Although they were transported to a hospital for medical treatment, both pilots subsequently passed away.
Findings
Investigations into the accident revealed that at the time of the crash, both crew members were intoxicated. This impairment was a critical factor in the loss of control during the low-altitude turn.
