Russian Su-34 bomber crashed near Volgograd today, according to Russian media.

The crash was allegedly caused by a technical malfunction.

The bomber was performing a scheduled training flight. The pilots were probably able to eject.

A few days ago, a Mi-28 attack helicopter crashed in Russia. The aircraft was also performing a scheduled flight, but the crew was killed in the incident.

At the beginning of the month, an “import-substituted” Superjet 100 passenger plane crashed near Moscow. It crashed during a test flight after scheduled maintenance. At the time of the crash, there were three people on board.
