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 performing flight SU831 from Moscow-Bykovo to Simferopol with intermediate stops in Chernigov and Kirovograd.

While cruising at an altitude of 2,700 meters, the crew 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 a Soviet Air Force AN-12BP registered CCCP-08525.

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.

On an unauthorized flight during crop-spraying operations for the Kolkhoz (collective farm) im. Kalinina at Novotitarovka (Dinskaya district of the Krasnodar region), the pilot performed unauthorized manoeuvres at low height. The aircraft touched a 7 metres high tree at Novotitarovka, collided with more trees and the mast of a powerline, damaged a house then crashed in a garden and caught fire. The pilot and the sole passenger were killed.

On final approach to Irkutsk-Intl Airport, the airplane crash landed 600 meters short of runway threshold and was damaged beyond repair. There were no casualties.

During a crop-spraying flight on behalf of the sovkhoz (state farm) 'Severny' located in the village of Staroshcherbinovskaya, the pilot completed a steep turn at low height when control was lost. The aircraft crashed and was destroyed, killing all three occupants, among them two unauthorized passengers.

On a crop-spraying flight from Rubashovka (Anna district of the Voronezh region) for the sovkhoz (state farm) 'Krasnoye Znamya' with an unauthorized passenger on board, the intoxicated pilot illegally performed aerobatics manoeuvres. While recovering from a loop at low altitude, the aircraft crashed into the ground 140 metres from Rubashovka airstrip and burst into flames. The pilot and the sole passenger (an aircraft mechanic) were killed.

On the leg from Khalaktyrka to Kozyrevsk of a flight from Khalaktyrka to Esso when the crew decided to take the route over the mountains instead of the route along the valleys although the weather conditions did not allow such deviation. The aircraft entered clouds and crashed under control at a height of 1,230 metres on the slope of a mountain (1,280 metres) located in the Ganalskiye gory range, some 16 km east of Malka (Yelizovo district of Kamchatka). The airplane then slid down on the slope for 700 metres before coming to rest in the valley of the Zubastaya River. Both pilots were killed while all 11 passengers were injured (8 of them seriously).
