A Tu-95 strategic bomber has crashed during training flight 80km from the city of Khabarovsk, eastern Russia, the Defense Ministry said.

“The flight was being conducted without ammunition. The plane fell in deserted area, there is no destruction on the ground,” says a statement from the ministry. The crew ejected from the aircraft before the crash, it added.

The incident happened near the aviation ground of Litovka, 60km from Khabarovsk, a source told TASS, adding that the suspected cause of the incident is the failure of three power units.

However, according to a TASS source, “Preliminary data shows that a fuel valve collapsed and as a result all four engines failed.”

Currently An-12 transport aircraft and Mi-8 transport helicopters have been deployed to reach the crew, a source told TASS News Agency.

According to the sources, the strategic bomber exploded and was entirely destroyed.

The Russian long-range ‘Bear’ (Tu-95) is a large, four-engine strategic bomber. It entered into service back in 1956 in the Soviet Union and is expected to fly with Russian Air Force until at least 2040. It is capable of carrying up to 12,000kg of missiles, including a nuclear payload.

In June, a Tu-95 overshot the runway after taking off in Russia’s Far East, resulting in injuries to several crewmembers. That incident prompted the Russian Defense Ministry to temporarily freeze all flights carried out by the aircraft.

A Russian An-12 transport plane crashed in Chelyabinsk. Photos show the plane resting on the ground fairly intact, so hopefully the crew is ok. 4 days ago a Tu-95 bomber crashed in the same general area. The total count is now 7 serious crashes, including fatalities, since the beginning of summer.

There are comments in world press that Russia is flying an aging fleet from the 1960s and 1970s with a record of poor maintenance and poor funding, especially in the 1990s when the planes suffered from neglect. The same planes are still in the air. Russian Air Force me be being pushed beyond its limit because Kremlin is demanding levels of readiness not seen before.

According to French website RadiCocpit.fr, Greek fighter pilot Homere Sipostopoulos allegedly landed his F-16 in Turkey, withdrew money from local ATMs then returned back to base.

Already familiar with the area from frequent training exercises over the Aegean, pilot Sipostopoulos was flying a patrol over the Greek island of Samos when he suddenly changed course and head towards an abandoned airfield in the town of Söke just 3 kilometers away in Turkey’s western province of Aydın.

Upon landing at the airfield, which had once been used for military training flights but had been shut down 15 years ago, the Greek pilot then taxied his plane into one of the dilapidated hangars nearby to hide it.

Exiting his plane, Sipostopoulos then proceeded to Söke city center on foot and withdrew TRY 2,000 (EUR 700) from three different ATMs, each, before heading to the change office and having it all converted to Euros.

Now with over EUR 2,000 on hand, the pilot quickly returned to the hangar and took off, returning back to the Nea Anchialos airfield in Greece.

The Chief of the General Staff is examining the feasibility of a Sikh unit, including the possibility of a reserve company, and it “may well have merit”, Mark Francois told the Commons.
