It is reported that this time the board was successfully landed.

In Russia, another Sukhoi Superjet plane broke down in the air the day after the crash near Moscow, the Russian media reported with reference to the Southern Transport Prosecutor’s Office of the Russian Federation.

It is reported that the Sukhoi Superjet-100 made an emergency landing in Mineralnye Vody due to generator failure. It is about the plane of the airline “Azimut”, which was flying from Nizhnyvartovsk.

“He requested an emergency landing due to a generator failure. The landing was normal at the destination airport,” the interlocutor said.

As noted by military and political commentator Oleksandr Kovalenko, after the introduction of sanctions in 2022 against Russia for invading Ukraine, not only the production of Sukhoi Superjet-100 aircraft became impossible, but even maintenance came to a standstill.

“Today, some of the Sukhoi Superjet-100 aircraft do not fly, as they require repairs that cannot be carried out. Some of the aircraft are disassembled in the format of “cannibalism” for spare parts for the maintenance of other planes. But, taking into account the low reliability of the aircraft in general, it constantly needs repairs and spare parts , – the expert explained. – There was a time when Russian propaganda called the Sukhoi Superjet-100 the killer of Airbus and Boeing… So far, the Sukhoi Superjet-100 kills only its passengers.”

  1. A real expert would say he has no clue why the plane crashed, but that a lack of maintenance or spare parts have most likely played a role.

    It could just be pilot error or a human error during maintenance.
