Six Killed As Russian Strategic Bomber Crashes During Training Flight

ATu-95 strategic bomber belonging to the Russian Aerospace Forces has crashed during a training flight in the Amur Region in the Russian Far East, killing six crew members and injuring another, Moscow’s Defence Ministry said.

According to RT, quoting the ministry, the injured crew member was evacuated to a medical facility.

The aircraft, according to the ministry, was unarmed and crashed in an uninhabited area.

A Russian Aerospace Forces commission has been dispatched to the crash site to investigate the cause of the crash.

The Soviet-designed Tu-95, which first flew in 1952, remains the world’s fastest production turboprop aircraft.

The long-range strategic bomber has been used extensively by Russia to launch Kh-101 cruise missiles at targets in Ukraine during the conflict.

The bombers are part of the Russian nuclear triad and are capable of carrying missiles with thermonuclear warheads.
