Two 700 kilogram rockets exploded at an air base in Crimea

An explosion occurred at a military airfield in the Crimea.

The servicemen of the military airfield in Saki accidentally fired a Kh-29TD combat missile, which led to the detonation of another Kh-29 missile, which in turn led to the partial destruction of the aircraft hangar and damage to special equipment.

“The Ministry of Defense is trying to recover more than 45 million rubles. from two members of the Black Sea Fleet naval aviation, who accidentally launched an X-29TD guided missile at the Saki airport. Fortunately, its warhead with about 100 kg of explosive did not work, but as a result of an unauthorized launch, two X-29TD and special equipment had to be written off to check them, and in addition, the hangar was restored, from where the rocket had flown. ”, - reports "Kommersant».

According to the data presented, the incident occurred back in 2017, however, it has received publicity only now. It is known that as a result of the incident miraculously managed to do without the injured, while the circumstances of the incident themselves are not fully disclosed.

It should be clarified that an earlier incident with an unauthorized missile launch occurred at the northern borders of Russia, when a Spanish fighter, while in Estonian airspace, launched a military missile in the direction of Russia.

You are wrong, all protection systems work properly until a person intervenes. The rocket launch lock is on when the landing gear is released, the plane is on the ground, but it can be removed by pressing the lamp control button on the landing gear display, which is strictly prohibited. Young technicians can make such a mistake when they are not learning from others. We also had such a case, P-24 left in preparation for the DZ.

A typical flaw in the system that prevents unauthorized startup. A problem poorly solved by the project Technicians are simply the most insecure, if they did not carry out unauthorized actions, but not the only ones to blame
