Circumstances:
While performing a training mission over the Azov Sea, the fire alarm sounded in the cockpit after a hotline located near the right engine broke off, causing hot air to spread in the right wing. In a hurry, the crew mistakenly shut down both engines. The aircraft lost speed and height then crashed into the Sea about 12 km off Obitochnaya. Two crew members were rescued while two others were killed.
