A Russian fighter hits a residential area again and its two pilots die

New crash of a Russian fighter plane. Russian authorities have confirmed the death of two fighter pilots when their Su-30 fighter crashed into a home in the Siberian town of Irkutsk. At the moment there is no record of other victims.

The incident occurred during a test flight of the plane, according to a statement from the Ministry of Emergency Situations collected by the TASS agency. The plane was traveling without weapons.

The governor of the Irkutsk region, Igor Kozin, is on his way to the site to assess the situation in person, according to a message posted on his Telegram account.

In the absence of clarification of the details about this event, everything indicates that it is an accident. It is not the first of these characteristics that occurs in recent times. Without going any further, last Monday a Russian fighter-bomber crashed in a residential area of ​​Yeisk, a city in southwestern Russia, near Ukraine.
