The An-148-100EM aircraft, used by the Russian Ministry of Emergency Situations as a "flying hospital," made a short-term flight from Moscow to Grozny and back. According to Flightradar24, the aircraft arrived in the capital of the Chechen Republic, spent a minimal amount of time on the ground, and on the same day flew back to Vnukovo Airport, where it landed safely at 01:10.
There have been no official comments from the Ministry of Emergency Situations regarding the purpose of the flight. However, some anonymous Telegram channels focused on the Chechen audience have reported unconfirmed information about a traffic accident involving high-ranking officials of the region. This information remains without official confirmation from law enforcement agencies or regional authorities.
The first Russian "flying hospital" based on the An-148 was put into operation in 2013. The aircraft is equipped with modern medical equipment, allowing for emergency therapeutic care and monitoring of the patient's condition during the flight. At the same time, it was planned to create a second similar module, but information about its further fate is not available in open sources.
