Frames of the crash of an Il-76 military transport aircraft with Ukrainians, shot down in the sky over the Belgorod region, appeared on the Internet prisoners on board. In the recording you can see how the plane sharply descends, and something large falls out of it. What exactly it could be, an aviation expert explained in a conversation with SHOT.

The specialist came to the conclusion that one of its four engines fell off the plane.

The expert believes that the Ukrainian missile, preliminary , just hit the right side of the Il-76, under the wing.

Earlier it became known that the crew of the Il-76, at the cost of their lives, saved dozens of civilians by taking the plane away from residential buildings in the village of Yablonovo.

Lieutenant General Viktor Sobolev said that the pilots should be nominated for awards posthumously.

Former adviser to the Office of the President of Ukraine Alexey Arestovich (recognized in Russia as an extremist and terrorist) accused of killing prisoners on board the IL -76 President Vladimir Zelensky and company. He veiledly called the politicians who decided to shoot down the plane idiots.
