An explosion was heard near occupied Sevastopol, after which videos appeared online showing the crash of a Russian Su-27 27 at sea.
Later, the “head” of Sevastopol, Mikhail Razvozhaev, controlled by the occupiers, confirmed the crash of a military plane.
“A military plane crashed into the sea. I see that Ukrainian public pages publish a lot of different information. No civilian objects were damaged. The pilot ejected. He was picked up by rescuers from the Sevastopol rescue service at a distance of two hundred meters from the shore. His life is not in danger “, he wrote.
The Crimean Wind telegram channel claims that it was the Russian military that shot down its own plane – it was taking off from the Belbek airfield.
