The United States and the EU have imposed sanctions against Russia’s aviation industry, banning the supply of new airliners and servicing Russian aircraft. Before the full-scale war, the fleet of Russian companies consisted of 1,031 aircraft. Boeing and Airbus account for nearly two-thirds.
In 2023, at least 74 aircraft accidents were recorded in Russia, which is 38 more than in 2022. For every 100 thousand flights there are about ten accidents.
Experts associate such incidents with cases of fire or failure of engines during flights, damage to the landing gear during landing, as well as malfunction of flaps leading to deviation from the course.

In June, an An-26 plane broke in half after a hard landing in Russia. The incident occurred on the Yamal Peninsula in the Arctic near the runway.
