Antonov AN-12

Following an approach in a limited visibility due to thick fog, the airplane landed hard and came to rest. There were no casualties but the aircraft was later considered as damaged beyond repair.

The aircraft was completing a cargo flight from Moscow to Anadyr with intermediate stops in Syktyvkar and Katanga, carrying a load ot 9,905 kilos of oranges and 384 kilos of mail. Both legs between Moscow-Sheremetyevo, Syktyvkar and Katanga were uneventful. The crew started the approach to Katanga by night and marginal weather conditions (low clouds, snow falls and a visibility of 5 km) when he was cleared to descent to 400 meters. At high speed, flaps and undercarriage raised, the airplane banked left to 20-25° when it struck trees and crashed in flames in a wooded area located 13 km short of runway threshold. No distress call was sent from the crew prior to the accident. The aircraft was totally destroyed upon impact and all eight occupants have been killed.

The aircraft was completing a cargo flight from Moscow to Yakutsk with intermediate stops in Amderma, Khatanga and Magadan, carrying a load of fruits (grapes, pears and lemons) for a total weight of 10,776 kilos. Following an uneventful flight from Sheremetyevo Airport, the crew started the approach to Amderma and was cleared to descent to 600 meters. At high speed, flaps and undercarriage retracted, the airplane was on a straight-in approach when it banked left in a 40° angle and crashed in a prairie located 15 km short of runway. The aircraft disintegrated on impact and debris were found scattered on 540 meters long and 180 meters wide. All 12 occupants were killed.

While completing a local training mission by night and poor weather conditions, the crew exercised poor judgement regarding the distance with the preceding aircraft when the cockpit base struck the top of the tail of the preceding aircraft. On impact, the tail penetrated the fuselage, killing the captain instantly. In panic, the copilot abandoned the aircraft with his parachute. Out of control, the airplane dove into the ground and crashed, killing all six remaining crew members.

The aircraft was completing a cargo flight from Moscow to Norilsk with an intermediate stop in Amderma, carrying a load of eggs for a total weight of 9,108 kilos. Following a uneventful stopover, the crew was cleared to taxi to join the holding point for takeoff. At the same time, a Soviet Air Force Tupolev TU-128 landed when the right main gear collapsed on touchdown. The Tupolev veered off runway and collided with the Antonov that was 125 meters from the main runway, causing both aircraft to burst into flames. Both aircraft were destroyed and both pilots of the Tupolev were killed as well as five crew members on board the Antonov.

The aircraft was completing a cargo flight from Mys Schmidta to Novosibirsk with intermediate stops in Chokurdakh and Tiksi, carrying a load of 9,9 tons of various equipments. After takeoff from Tiksi, the engine n°4 failed. The captain decided to continue on three engines to Novosibirsk as a landing at Tiksi Airport was not possible due to poor weather conditions. Following an uneventful flight, the crew started the descent to Tolmachevo Airport when all three remaining engines lost power. The airplane lost height, struck trees and crashed in a wooded area located 13 km from the airfield. Four crew members were killed while two others were injured. The aircraft was destroyed.

On touchdown at Mirny Airport, the right main gear collapsed. The airplane went out of control, veered off runway to the right and came to rest. All six crew members escaped uninjured while the aircraft was damaged repair.

The crew was performing a flight from Kėdainiai to Ryazan with 91 soldiers and a crew of 5 returning to their base. The aircraft was in the third position of a three-aircraft formation. In the same region was cruising an Aeroflot Ilyushin II-14M registered CCCP-52018. En route from Moscow-Bykovo to Simferopol, Ukraine, via Chernigov and Kirovograd, this second aircraft was carrying 19 passengers and a crew of 5. En route, the crew of the II-14 encountered turbulences while cruising in poor weather conditions. He requested to ATC the permission to modify his altitude but this was denied due to heavy traffic. Despite he was uncleared, the captain started to climb in marginal weather conditions. Shortly later, at a height of 2,950 meters, the II-14M collided with the Soviet Air Force AN-12BP. The collision occurred when the top of the tail of the AN-12 struck the base of the fuselage of the II-14. Both aircraft went out of control, dove into the ground and crashed in a field, 800 meters from each other. All 120 occupants on both aircraft were killed.

The crew was completing a local training flight at Pskov AFB. On final approach, the crew encountered poor weather conditions and low visibility. The captain decided to make a go around when the airplane collided with a second Soviet AF AN-12 that was approaching the same airport. Both aircraft dove into the ground and crashed, killing all 14 crew members on both aircraft. The exact circumstances of the collision remains unclear as well as the possible responsibility of ATC.
