The crew was completing a local training at Chita-Cheryomushki AFB (Chita Northwest). On final approach, the aircraft was too low and struck the ground short of runway 33 threshold. The crew initiated a go-around, completed a circuit and landed few minutes later. Both crew members were uninjured while the aircraft was damaged beyond repair.
