Key reasons for the crash of the Tu-22М3 strategic bomber missile in the Murmansk region are named.

A day earlier, on the territory of a military airfield in Olenegorsk, a Russian supersonic strategic bomber-missile carrier Tu-22M3 crashed. As a result of the tragedy, three crew members died, while the condition of one more is assessed as extremely serious. Experts believe that two factors could be to blame - unfavorable meteorological conditions and an icy runway.

It is reported that at the time of landing of the strategic bomber Tu-22М3, there was low cloudiness and rather heavy precipitations in the form of snow, while taking into account the low temperature, it may well be a question of ice on the runway.

“Tu-22M3 is a heavy and very stable machine, which is operated exclusively by pilots with vast experience. The probability that the Tu-22M3 disaster occurred on January 22, 2019 due to a piloting error is extremely low. Moreover, it is possible to refute the version of a technical malfunction, since in 2012 this aircraft was completely repaired. Obviously, when landing on the runway, the plane skidded and turned around at great speed ", - the expert noted.

By the current hour there is a video from the checkpoint of a military airfield in Olenegorsk. According to the source, no journalists are allowed into the territory of the military airfield, while military experts and experts arrive here, who will have to establish all the circumstances of the tragedy.
