The first photos of the crash of Su-27 in Ukraine are published.

This morning at the disposal of the resource Avia.pro there were photos showing the crash site of the Ukrainian fighter Su-27, which crashed last Saturday in the Zhytomyr region.

As can be seen in the presented footage, at the time of the crash, the pilot intended to make an emergency landing on the ground, but if the aircraft did not receive any critical damage, the pilot of the Ukrainian Air Force still failed to survive.

“The cause of the crash is still unknown. The pilot was probably not aware of his plane's actual altitude. The Flanker itself (the designation of the Su-27 fighter according to NATO codification - ed.) Was not completely destroyed, and it was clearly sliding horizontally along the ground. ", - reports the Scramble Magazine edition.

Previously it was found that the 30-year-old Ukrainian fighter Su-27, is one of the "newest" in service with Ukraine, while analysts do not exclude that the main reason for the crash may be inadequate maintenance, due to the minimum amount of funds allocated for the needs Air Force of the country.
