The US and EU cut off Russia from supplies of spare parts and aircraft maintenance after a large-scale invasion of Ukraine.
The Sukhoi Superjet100 aircraft of the Russian airline Azimuth made an emergency landing at the Mineralnye Vody airport. The passengers and crew were not injured, Baza wrote.
The incident happened on the morning of December 1. The plane was flying from Mineralnye Vody to Sochi. Shortly after take-off, the aircraft commander decided to return due to the triggering of the fuel filter fault sensor.
This is the third Azimuth Superjet to break down in a week.
The US and EU cut off Russia from supplies of spare parts and aircraft maintenance after a large-scale invasion of Ukraine. In particular, the French manufacturer of the SaM146 engine for the Superjet refused to cooperate with Rostec.
We remind you that in the capital of Russian Buryatia, Ulan-Ude, a TU-204 cargo plane caught fire while flying.
It was previously reported that in the Russian Federation five planes were destroyed in one flight two days later.
The Main Intelligence Directorate obtained secret documents indicating the collapse of Russian aviation due to sanctions. Documents show that in 2023, the number of accidents and cases of technical malfunctions in Rosavitsa increased significantly. Russia is experiencing serious difficulties in servicing aircraft with long flight times and a severe shortage of spare parts, which is why more than 35% of the aircraft were used for donation. The most problematic areas of Russian aviation remain engines and landing gear.
