The Story Of The Downing Of The Russian Su-30SM Has Been Continued

There was a war criminal on board.

While performing a scheduled training flight on November 13, a Su-30SM fighter jet crashed in Karelia. The story of the plane's emergency has been continued.

It was initially reported that two pilots were killed. Now it has become known that one of them was Lieutenant Colonel Kirill Kartsev, an experienced military pilot with more than 500 combat sorties to his credit, including for shelling Ukraine, writes "Dialogue".

"The downing of the warplane was called a 'technical malfunction' by Moscow, but in fact the situation looks dubious and looks like a natural outcome of systemic problems with aviation. The Su-30SM is one of the main vehicles of the Russian Armed Forces, and such incidents seriously damage the reputation of the Russian combat aviation, among other things," the newspaper writes.

The lieutenant colonel is an extremely valuable figure in military aviation as such, and the loss of an officer of this level is very painful for Russia, especially against the backdrop of an already serious personnel crisis. What exactly caused the crash remains a mystery.
