P.S. Most likely, the reports of the Russian Ministry of Defense and the the Russian "media" about the plane's cargo and passengers are disinformation or a carefully planned provocation to hide the failures of the Russian army during invasion in Ukraine. Any Russian military aircraft or any other military asset is a LEGIT TARGET ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD!

The global military transport aircraft market size reached US$ 33.3 Billion in 2023. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach US$ 41.9 Billion by 2032, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 2.51% during 2024-2032.

Crash and Burn

A Russian military transport plane with 15 people on board crashed on Tuesday while taking off from an air base in western Russia, the Defense Ministry said.

It said the Il-76 aircraft with eight crew and seven passengers crashed in the Ivanovo region. It didn’t say whether there were any survivors.

The Defense Ministry said in a statement that an engine fire during takeoff was the likely cause of the crash. It said a team of investigators flew to Ivanovo to conduct a probe.

Russian media broadcast a video showing the aircraft heading down with at least one of its engines ablaze.

The four-engine Il-76 is a heavy-lift transport plane that has been in service since the 1970s with the Soviet and then Russian air force.

Military experts have noted that as the number of Russian military flights increased sharply during the fighting in Ukraine, so has the number of crashes.
