A Russian passenger airplane has crashed close to Moscow, Russia’s emergencies ministry says.
It says the Sukhoi Superjet 100 went down in a forest, and all three crew members are believed to have been killed. There have been no passengers on board.
Russia’s state-run media report that the airplane went down throughout a check flight following restore works.
Russia’s has been creating the Sukhoi Superjet – a regional jet – for a while to interchange Western-made plane.
Closely sanctioned over its full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022, Russia has struggled to interchange its ageing plane fleet.
