In the Khabarovsk Territory, the site of the probable crash of the An-26 aircraft was found
In the Khabarovsk Territory, the wreckage of an An-26 aircraft was found, which disappeared yesterday, September 22, 2021, during a scheduled flight. Several Russian media outlets report this at once, referring to the emergency services of the region.
According to the report, the search for the aircraft, suspended at night due to poor visibility, continued in the morning, after which a likely crash site was found, as indicated by the wreckage. However, it is impossible to accurately establish this from a height; rescuers are looking for a place to land a helicopter.
As noted, the plane fell on a ridge three kilometers from the road of the village of Korfovskiy on the territory of the Bolshekhekhtsirskiy nature reserve. Currently, a ground rescue team is making their way to the crash site, which is being led by the reserve staff. In total, 26 rescuers and 70 pieces of equipment are involved in the search for the missing An-20.
Recall that the military transport aircraft A-26, owned by ZAO Flight Checks and Systems, disappeared from radar screens in the Khabarovsk Territory on Wednesday during a technical flight to check communication systems. According to emergency services in the region, there were six people on board.
Mi-8 helicopters of the Federal Air Transport Agency and the Ministry of Emergency Situations were involved in the search for the aircraft, but the search was hampered by thick fog at the site of the likely crash of the aircraft. There were also difficulties in determining the place of the probable fall of the An-26. Search and rescue operations were suspended at night due to poor visibility.
