According to the report, a Russian military transport plane smashed into a reservoir on Dec. 9 after reports said it began falling apart mid-air. The Soviet-era An-22 was carrying seven people when it came down in the Ivanovo region, northeast of Moscow, as per the Russian Kommersant newspaper.

The report said that wreckage from the doomed plane was later spotted floating in the vast Uvod Reservoir, with more debris scattered on land nearby, reported TASS. The Russian Investigative Committee said there were no survivors in the military plane crash east of Moscow.

In addition to the report, the investigative committee, which is responsible for probing major crimes, said it’s probing flight preparation rules following the incident. The aircraft was said to be on a scheduled test flight following repairs when the disaster struck.

It is very sad to read about this accident. The crash of a military aircraft, especially one as old as the An-22, reminds us how dangerous air travel can be under less than ideal conditions. It is worrying that the aircraft began to disintegrate mid-flight, indicating possible failures in maintenance or flight preparation. The loss of seven lives in such an accident is a tragedy for all the families involved. Furthermore, it is important that the Russian authorities investigate flight preparation procedures, as this can prevent similar tragedies in the future. The situation also highlights the need to modernize and maintain military fleets, especially those with many years of service. I hope that the investigations will clarify the exact causes and that measures will be taken to prevent this from happening again in the future.

It's indeed worrisome about the mishap on air killing all passengers of the plane. Putin might not be affected with this. He never ceres about the Russian troops and to these 7 people who perished in the crash. May they all rest in peace.
