Antonov AN-26

The aircraft was completing a cargo flight from Biisk to Alma-Ata, carrying four passengers (loadmaster), five crew members and a load of 3,600 kilos of various goods. About 70 km from the destination, the crew was cleared to descend from 6,000 to 3,600 meters. At this time, weather conditions were marginal with limited visibility and low ceiling. During the descent, several radios contacts were made between ATC and pilots but most of them were inaudible and the crew continued the descent without knowing his exact position and without any visual contact with ground obstacles. At 1908LT, the airplane struck the slope of a mountain (2,370 meters high) located 56 km east of Alma-Ata Airport. The wreckage was found 22 meters below the summit and all nine occupants were killed.

On approach to Vinnitsa Airport, the crew encountered low visibility due to poor weather conditions. On final approach, the pilot-in-command descended to the MDA and as he was unable to establish a visual contact with the runway, he initiated a go-around procedure. Few minutes later, a second attempt to land was also abandoned. During a third attempt, the aircraft descended too low when the right engine struck trees. The aircraft stalled and crashed in a wooded area located near the village of Stadnytsya, about 5 km north of the airport. All nine occupants were killed.

After takeoff from Khost Airport, while climbing, the aircraft was hit by a Stinger missile and crashed in an open field, bursting into flames. All 36 occupants were killed, among them women and children.

Following a relative long mission, the crew made a short stop at Moscow-Sheremetyevo. The captain believed it was not necessary to add fuel for a short flight to Moscow-Bykovo despite the reserves were low. After takeoff, the crew encountered strong headwinds then the visibility dropped due to snow falls and low clouds. In such conditions, a direct approach was refused to the crew who should differ the landing procedure. Few minutes later, both engines failed due to fuel exhaustion. The crew completed a belly landing in an open field located about 3 km from Bykovo Airport. All five crew members escaped with minor injuries while the aircraft was damaged beyond repair.

On final approach by night to Szentkirályszabadja AFB, the aircraft crashed in a field and was destroyed by impact forces. Four crew members were killed while the fifth occupant was seriously injured. There were severe icing conditions at the time of the accident.

Shortly after takeoff from Pemba Airport, while climbing, the crew declared an emergency following engine problems. The crew was cleared to return and initiated a turn when one of the engine caught fire. The airplane went out of control and crashed, bursting into flames. Five passengers were rescued while 44 others were killed.

The aircraft was completing a cargo flight from Nizhnevartovsk to Gomel with intermediate stops in Sverdlovsk and Saransk, carrying six crew members and a load of 2,100 kilos of various goods. Less than one minute after takeoff from Saransk Airport, while climbing by night at an altitude of 150 meters, the aircraft entered a left turn then lost height and crashed at a speed of 390 km/h (rate of descent of 4,3 meters per second) two km past the runway end. The aircraft was destroyed and all six occupants were injured.

Crashed in unknown circumstances. There were no casualties. The exact date of the mishap remains unknown, somewhere in the year 1985.

En route, the aircraft was hit by two surface-to-air missiles. The flaps were mistakenly deployed and the aircraft went out of control. Five occupants were able to bail out before the aircraft crashed, bursting into flames. The flight engineer who was unable to bail out was killed.

After takeoff from Kandahar Airport, while climbing to an altitude of 3,800 feet, the aircraft was shot down by a surface-to-air missile. Out of control, it crashed 18 km west of Kandahar Airport and was destroyed. None of the 52 occupants survived the crash.
