Russia Suspends all Tu-95 Strategic Bomber Flights

This was done in time for a crash investigation of this type of aircraft near Khabarovsk.  This morning, today, during a training flight, according to some reports, all four engines failed.  the crew was given the order to jump.

The parachutes were seen from another aircraft.  Two of the pilots were found dead - presumably they crash landed.  The remaining five are located in a Khabarovsk hospital.  Their condition is satisfactory.  The same bomber was without combat equipment burned in an uninhabited area.  There was no damage on the ground.  In June there was another accident of this type of aircraft - in the Amur Oblast' a Tu-95 had an engine fire and slid from the main runway.  One was killed and 6 were injured.

Это сделано на время, пока идёт расследование крушения такого самолёта под Хабаровском. Сегодня утром во время тренировочного полёта, по некоторым данным, отказали все четыре двигателя. Экипаж выполнил приказ прыгать.

Парашюты видели с другого самолёта. Двоих лётчиков нашли погибшими - предположительно, они разбились при приземлении. Остальные пятеро в Хабаровске в госпитале. Их состояние оценили как удовлетворительное. Сам ракетоносец без боекомплекта сгорел в безлюдном районе. Разрушений на земле нет. В июне уже была авария на этом типе самолётов - в Амурской области Ту-95 с пожаром двигателя при разбеге выкатился за пределы полосы. Тогда один человек погиб и шестеро пострадали.
