The Su-34 aircraft encountered an emergency situation while landing at an airfield in the Nizhny Novgorod region. According to the Ministry of Defense, the cause was a failure of the hydraulic system for extending the right main landing gear.
Today, at about 13:00 Moscow time, a Su-34 aircraft crashed in the Nizhny Novgorod region during a scheduled training flight. While landing, the extension system of one of the landing gear struts failed. The crew made several attempts to fix the malfunction in flight, but the situation did not change. On the command of the flight director, the crew took the aircraft to a safe area and ejected.
A group of specialists from the Russian Aerospace Forces flew out to investigate the circumstances of the incident.
