Putin Fighter Jet Nosedives Before Crashing And Killing Crew

This crash marks the eighth military aircraft lost by Russia this year alone.

In a previous incident in October, a Su-30 jet crashed nose-first into a residential area in Irkutsk during a test flight. According to the Sun, the pilots tragically suffocated in the cockpit, leading to the plane’s sudden descent.

Videos taken by witnesses and dashcams captured the horrifying moment of the crash and subsequent explosion.

People could be heard in the video saying: “What a nightmare,” “A plane crashed, it exploded,” and “The pilots didn’t even eject … what a horror.”
