As reported in the media, the air forces of "Square" have lost one of their combat vehicles. Su-27, crashed last Saturday in the Zhytomyr region, was still relatively “young” - only 31 years of operation. During this time, the plane spent about 480 hours in the air and each time the number of take-offs corresponded to the number of landings.
In addition to the last time, which turned out to be fatal for both the car and the pilot. As reported by the command of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, nothing foreshadowed such a tragic finale. Su-27 passed the necessary maintenance and even the overhaul of engines. That's just from the collapse of these measures did not save him. According to the command, on the day of the accident the pilot performed quite a routine work for himself - piloting in difficult weather conditions. But when landing something went wrong, and the result was a plane crash and the death of the pilot.
It is noteworthy that the car was considered one of the newest among the available Ukrainian Air Force. It is easy to assume that it is the old park, but it seems that it is better not to do this. The Ukrainian General Staff has so far refrained from commenting on the incident, but it is known that the military prosecutor’s office has already taken over the case.
