It became known that the aircraft was used in the operation against the militants of the radical organization "Islamic State", however, according to preliminary versions, due to the reduction of thrust, the aircraft could not gain the necessary speed, due to which it fell into the water.

According to information available at Avia.pro aviation portal, the pilot of the American F-18 fighter managed to eject, and he himself was not injured. At the same time, experts are trying to understand the causes of the crash, and in all likelihood, the official conclusions will be announced in the coming days.
