NewzA Russian nuclear-capable Tu-95 bomber crashed during a training flight in an uninhabited area of the Amur region's Far East, resulting in the deaths of six crew members. According to the Russian Defence Ministry, the aircraft went down near Krasnoyarovo shortly after taking off from the Ukrainka air base.
The incident follows a previous military setback involving the same base, which Russia had utilized to shelter surviving strategic bombers. That deployment came in the wake of Ukraine's Operation Spiderweb in June 2025, an operation that destroyed or damaged more than 40 aircraft across various Russian airfields.
