The event occurred on 9 October in the Lipeck region (about 300 km from Ukraine) at 19.20 local time. The plane was approaching landing erstwhile it turned out that the left shin of the chassis could not leave. A two-man crew made a failed alternate effort to leave, then left for the designated area over the undeveloped area and catapulted. The pilots were found injured (the catapultation effect at low altitude) and are now in the hospital. The plane fell into the forest and caused a fire.
