A Russian military jet crashed while taking off from Russia’s Hmeymim air base in Syria on October 10 in an incident that killed its two-man crew, Russia’s Defense Ministry said, Russian news agencies reported.
The Sukhoi-24 attack aircraft, codenamed Fencer by the NATO military alliance, was heading out on a combat mission, but its crew failed to eject after the plane veered off the runway, the ministry was cited as saying.
