What happened
Shortly after departing from Voronovo, the flight crew encountered mechanical difficulties involving the engines. Although the pilot attempted to keep the aircraft at its current altitude, the plane began to lose height. During the descent, the aircraft struck trees and crashed into a forested region situated approximately 7.5 km from the airfield. The impact was followed by a significant fire that consumed the wreckage.
