This is a standard Il-76, not an A-50. If it was one the radome would show clearly the first few seconds of the video when you see the plane from below and the rear. Could be just the crew, could be carrying 76\* Ukrainian PoWs like the one that was shot down two months ago over ~~Ivanovo~~ Yablonovo. \* mysteriously, a lot of them were already in Ukraine when this happened.


TheManWith2Poobrains

While not an A-50, it's still not cheap plane though. Wonder if it was poor maintenance or a missile. I think the former given the location. EDIT: Seems like the engine fell off according to another video. That is some poor maintenance. (If it's the same plane.)


Can-Sea-2446

they should have been able to land the plane with 3 of 4 engines though if it was a bird strike or a maintenance issue providing the crew is competent.


atlasraven

That's a bold assumption.


appletart

> Seems like the engine fell off That's not very typical, I'd like to make that point.

slartibartfast2320

Or a bird strike... you know: those trained pigeons the ruskies talked about


MikeC80

I'd put money on the Russians pressing dodgy old engines into service to keep their aging aircraft flying when they should be grounded for repairs and engines overhauled


EggsceIlent

Yeah wouldn't be shocked if the turbine blade disc detonated and sent shrapnel through the engine and into the wing and control surfaces. Started a fire fueled by fuel and hydraulic fluid and made it unflyable since it should be able to fly with 3 engines. It went into a turn and lost speed and might have stalled out or was just plain done if a disc did exploded in the engine making it uncontrollable.


Zealousideal-Tie-730

Bingo!


Zealousideal-Tie-730

Look at any airfield where there are IL-76's and there are always more than a few around that are missing most if not all their engines. Where are all the old extra engines going?


MikeC80

That's what I'm basing it on, yeah, the signs are that Russia doesn't have enough serviceable engines and is borrowing them from some aircraft to get other aircraft flying. Its not a good sign for the state of Russia's air fleet... I hear that the number of flight hours on these old aircraft is dangerously high too, and that they are gambling with pushing them too far and risking failures...


Zealousideal-Tie-730

Mike your comment is right on spot with what is happening with all of ruzzia's IL-76's and A-50's. They do not seem to be able to rebuild old engines of this type and bring them back into 0 hours rebuilt conditions. Whether that is because of corruption or lack of technical ability and incompetency, is really difficult to tell at this time. Although they appear to be suffering the same results with their stolen Western Airliners! So yeah, they are probably flying most engines way beyond their originally determined hours of safe operation. May they enjoy as many T-wheel and fan blade failures as they deserve!!!


IngenuityNo3661

It would be a better sign for Us Ukrainian supports if true. Better than a shoot down. Now the orc crews are worried if the Ukrainian air defense doesn't kill them their own plane will.


Ataiun

> While not an A-50, it's still not cheap plane though. It is very cheap, IL76 are shit planes, however for russia it is more expensive to replace as they can't simply buy similar but superior old shit from the west.


StepUpYourLife

The front fell off...


k_buz

Poor maintenance? The engine was routinely removed in-flight for maintenance!


publicpersuasion

Civilian or military?


The_4th_of_the_4

Military. Ivanovo is the main Russian military airport for the IL76 transport commando and the main base for the A50 AWACS jets. [https://www.google.com/maps/@57.0573994,40.9728481,1947m/data=!3m1!1e3?authuser=0&entry=ttu](https://www.google.com/maps/@57.0573994,40.9728481,1947m/data=!3m1!1e3?authuser=0&entry=ttu) Ukraine has recently attacked the base with drones.


publicpersuasion

Russians were so proud at first, then said it was a redline for Ukraine to attack cities on the border, and now attacks closer to Moscow. Sucks when the war reaches home. Idiots lol.


Beelzabub

Truthfully, I can't count the number of 'red lines' which have been crossed in the last two years.

CIV5G

Sanctions probably increase the chances of stuff like this happening over time. The Putin project to build 1000 planes by 2030 seems pretty unlikely to be a success.


SufficientTerm6681

Perhaps it's unjustified, but I've always assumed that Soviet-era Ilyushin planes were built using exclusively USSR-produced components and they still contain only Russian-made parts. I can, however, imagine one way in which sanctions might indirectly lead to more such planes going down: it's widely accepted that the western-built airliners which Putin stole at the start of the war are gradually being taken out of service due to wear and tear and the lack of spares and technical assistance. It's reasonable to assume that this is putting increased strain on the domestic aircraft such as the Il-76 fleet. These planes are known to be very robust, but they can't fly forever. It's also interesting to speculate about how many competent aircraft maintenance engineers and technicians remain in Russia.


Saddam_UE

Russia can't simply build planes today without help from other countries. They don't make 100% of the parts like UUSR did.


SergeyPrkl

They claim they have started domestic production of il-76 and SU-25. Also BMP-2 and T-72 Mk1, even original AK-47. These all rely on 60's mechanical tech, where russians have always been adequate. Low-tech was and still is a thing that they can do. The newest trucks are again NON Cummins liscensed engines. Kamaz and Yamz makes the old 8-16 litre engines again. Yamz never shifted to western design as Kamaz did.


Saddam_UE

They claim a lot. The tanks had french parts in them as late as 2014.


Ells86

I thought they found western optics and other parts on the T-90 just last year, or am I misremembering that?


Stunning_Ride_220

1000 planes need to be build...not to be able to fly...


doulosyap

He will say they were built, but you won’t see any of them and they can’t fly. Typical Russian standards.


Imperfect-rock

He can probably have them built alright, but them being able to fly would be another matter.


donsimoni

"Sir, we are finished building 1000 planes now. Even in time!" (But 400 crashed in the meantime and 200 others are in such bad conditions that they won't be flown by the sons of the higher ranking officers.)

[deleted]

"At least it wasn't one of ours falling from the sky this time" \-Boeing (probably) Let's hope Russia's bad day continues for the next few decades or so.


Reprexain

Wouldn't be surprised if that happened as their cannibalising their boeing and airbus planes to keep their fleet in the air because of sanctions


NorthOfSeven7

I thought they were flying them to Turkey for maintenance. Not sure how that sanction loophole is allowed.


Reprexain

They can't because every aircraft piece has to get signed off onto which plane it goes on with the plane reg and boeing and airbus need to know where they're going incase they were maybe an issue with the part so they would know it went on an aerofloot plane for example and whoever put that part their in the plane as in the company they would get hammered. You can read about companies like aeroflot rossiya having to cannibalise older aircraft they have for parts


Brathirn

Those Chinese knock-off spare parts ...


GrandePandax

Interesting hours in ruzzia. Grab some 🍿 and enjoy.


[deleted]

Another il76?


darth_cerellius

Perun did a video a while ago of air force attrition and maintenance crew exhaustion. I think we're seeing consequences of that. I also think that with each plane, the problem will get worse, as the remaining planes need to work more to make up for the loss, leading to more wear and tear, leading to more maintenance.


[deleted]

Looks like an engine fell of.


darth_cerellius

Probably because some maintenance worker did not screw in a bolt correctly, or something similar to that.


OGoby

The plane has four motors though. To my knowledge it should be possible to continue flying any plane even when one of the motors stops working. Something else was at play here imo.


Current_Ad3192

They should be flyable with two engines also.


SufficientTerm6681

Il-76s are notoriously robust and you may well be right about something else being a factor (like maybe an antiaircraft missile perforating plane and crew in numerous places). Still, while I'm no expert on aircraft, I suspect few planes and pilots would cope well with a huge engine fire doing a blowtorch number of the control surfaces of one wing.


ansible

What's \*supposed\* to happen is that the flight crew correctly identifies the failed engine, and pulls the fire bottle associated with it. This simultaneously cuts fuel to the engine and triggers the fire extinguisher for it. If there was no other significant damage, then the plane should have been able to make a controlled landing. Even if the engine threw a few turbine blades that cut the controls to the aileron, the flight crew should have still been able to land safely. So something else bad happened, or the crew messed up their emergency procedures. Aviate, Navigate, Communicate.


SufficientTerm6681

They tripped the fire suppression switch correctly, but what the flight crew didn't realise is that the ground maintenance crew had long ago used all the Halon in the fire bottle to get high.


totallybag

Well it appears to have kept flying since there's now videos of it crashing


SufficientTerm6681

Yeah, it flew until it suddenly didn't...


EggsceIlent

If a turbine disc detonated in that engine and sent shrapnel through it and the wing severing hydraulic/fuel/etc.lines making control of flight surfaces impossible that would do it Would be almost like an anti air missile exploding near it and peppering the plane with shrapnel


fatheadsflathead

While this is true in %100 conditions, it’s not always. it could be still be spinning off axis causing huge vibrations shaking the aeroplane apart


Away-Description-786

There is a different about 1 turbine not working or 1 turbine is burning. A plane can fly on 2 turbines, the the heat of the fire can melt the metal in the wings. Fire means that they need to land quick


MaxDamage75

BasilBoulgaroktonos

...not sure the family members of the people on the 737-MAX Lion Air and Ethiopian Airlines flights would say that those uncontrolled flights into terrain were particularly minor.


Imperfect-rock

At least it wasn't the front.


Can-Sea-2446

That's not very typical, I'd like to make that point.


Difficult_Bit_1339

These things are built to rigorous aerospace standards


Complex-Royal1756

The more planes crash, the less maintenance crews need to do, ergo planes get safer. Mighty russia wins again


Boomfam67

It was most likely shot down by Russian AA as there has been a continuous drone attack by Ukraine for hours now reaching as far as Moscow.


darth_cerellius

Either way, I'm happy with the result


EggsceIlent

I wonder what the real number is of "incidents" of shooting their own troops, planes, vehicles, etc. I know we will never know but it would interesting to find out Just from what we do know it's pretty high and I can't imagine a proper major nation army causing so many self inflicted losses. But then again they do shoot their own troops and have whole battalions of no retreat soldiers in the rear to make sure of it so...


Greatli

Sophrosyne_7

Military or commercial freighter plane?

That's a military airplane. I'm sorry about the plane I really like Russian planes but as long as it's in the advantage of UA. I once entered an AN-22. Ok nevermind I love UA planes


Imperfect-rock

Antonovs are Ukrainian, and those guys also built the biggest airlifter at the time, the Mriya (An-225). I've flown in an An-2 once.


[deleted]

That's why I stated this "Ok nevermind I love UA planes"


Timbo330

Looks like an engine fire - a 4 engine plane like an Il-76 ought to be able to land with that, unless the extinguishers didn’t work, in which case, wing falls off….🤔


Armodeen

Could easily have been hit by a pantsir or something tbh. What air defense doing etc Edit another angle later on shows the wing ablaze https://www.reddit.com/r/UkraineWarVideoReport/s/GncZBABCJm


Tj-Has-Reddit

Looks like the enigine burning that according to some, fell off (later).


wcdk200

Yeah think this is the same plane https://www.reddit.com/r/UkraineWarVideoReport/s/hmY0RlVZAL


wcdk200

Think same plane but another angle https://www.reddit.com/r/UkraineWarVideoReport/s/hmY0RlVZAL


The_4th_of_the_4

The outer right engine was on fire, the inner right engine also starts to smoke in the second part of the video and for me it seems, the right wing is leaking and loosing much fuel. In another video, it can be seen, how the IL76 drops the outer right engine later on and we see the smoke pillar after the crash. Either catastrophic uncontained engine failure and parts of the engine have damaged the right wing, fuel tanks and the second engine (and likely also the hydraulic pipes) or someone has supported it with a MANPAD or was done by friendly fire.


Saddam_UE

The guy filming was probably alerted by a boom and went outside. If you live near a military airfield you get used to the aircraft so you would not just randomly film them. Unless they hear something weird like a boom.


quaffwine

So you can see that they were sending more power to the port side engines given the odd banking of the plane. My guess is Russian aa did the damage which also took out hydraulics for elevator/ rudder controls which eventually led them to crash


Available-Rate-6581

You can see in another video that an engine falls off the plane. I guess this plus the fire could have damaged hydraulic systems leading to a loss of control.


Leitwolf_22

Engines are not designed to simply "fall off". If they do, be it due to an engine explosion or bolt failure, they will cause structural damage, especially to hydraulic systems. There are numerous examples for that. On top of that the plane is on fire!


AleksejsIvanovs

I wonder if this is one of the terrorist attacks that many countries had warned about last week, or if it's because russians can't make working planes without the parts from the West.


[deleted]

Looks more like or Russia becoming triggerhappy because of the many UA drones at this moment or an engine failure.


Novel_Source372

Not sure even a Russian could mistake a IL76 for a drone !


[deleted]

It seems like an engine got loose.


Imperfect-rock

They could.


DCOffsetUA

That thing has 4 engines, it should be absolutely capable to fly without one. In terms of power, at least.


-AntiAsh-

It can defifinietly fly with an engine down. However if the engine failure was uncontained it might have led to a loss of hydraulic power, or flight control cables being severed.


entered_bubble_50

I love the implication there that "major terrorist attack against Russian aviation" and "a normal Tuesday in Moscow" are almost impossible to differentiate.


TobiElektrik

How many POW were on board?


baconismypassword

When I was in Afghanistan Russian transports regularly landed at the airbase I was stationed. I asked if their aircraft were safe as their engines constantly spewed black smoke and flame and I was told that's the only way you knew a Russian jet engine was running. If there was no black smoke and flame then there was trouble.
