The air defense unit of the Russian Federation could not recognize their own aircraft and “landed” it. The pilot of the plane died in the crash.

The Russian air force shot down a plane near Engels airport on Thursday, December 29. However, it turned out to be a Russian Su-27. The Strategic Communications Department of the Armed Forces of Ukraine reported this on its Telegram channel with reference to information from Russian media.

“An unknown object was spotted. Considering the experience of the previous two ‘arrivals’, we decided to shoot it down. It turned out to be our Su-27,” the message said.

The Russians are trying to establish what caused their own aircraft to crash.

The report also says that the pilot who flew the Su-27 died.

Recall that the governor of the Saratov region Roman Busargin said on December 29 that in the city of Engels on December 29 the air defense system worked and calmed local residents.
