Russian plane bursts into flames mid-air on way to Ukraine

A Russian military plane burst into flames and crashed while on its way to Ukraine to support Vladimir Putin’s invasion. The Ilyushin-76 cargo plane was spotted on fire above the Russian city of Ryazan immediately after refueling there. It made an emergency landing behind a busy residential tower, exploding as it touched down.  Nine crew members were onboard. At least four of them were killed with the rest in a “grave” condition after being rushed to hospital. Three of those killed – Vladimir Petrushin, Nikolai Gorbunov, and Dmitry Andreev – died at the crash site, while a fourth died in hospital. It is understood that there were no civilian casualties on the ground, despite the plane crashing close to both shops and residential areas.The post Russian plane bursts into flames mid-airon way to Ukraine appeared first on Linda Ikeji Blog.
