What happened
During a night arrival at Ulan Ude-Mukhino Airport, an aircraft was performing its final approach when it impacted the terrain approximately 300 meters before reaching the runway threshold. Following the initial impact, the plane slid for several dozen meters across the ground. The force of the collision caused the airframe to break into two separate pieces, which subsequently ignited into a fire.
Despite the intensity of the post-crash fire and the destruction of the aircraft, all six crew members were successfully rescued from the wreckage.
