Tver oblast

The crew was cleared to descent to 5,700 meters when a technical issue occurred on the elevator trim system. The airplane entered a dive and during the descent, the captain was able to regain control at an altitude of 2,000 meters. While flying by night, the gyro failed and the pilot suffered a spatial disorientation. So he lost again control of the airplane that dove into the ground and crashed in a near vertical attitude at a speed of 900 km/h in an open field located about 480 meters from Karacharovo. The aircraft disintegrated on impact and all 51 occupants were killed.

The single engine airplane departed Kalinin (Tver) at 0747LT on a flight to Kashin. Few minutes later, while cruising at an altitude of 450 meters, the crew was informed about the weather conditions at destination : low clouds, mist and visibility limited to 1,500 meters. In such conditions, ATC advised the crew to divert to the alternate airport located in Kalyazin, about 20 km southeast of Kashin. At 0815LT, the crew obtained a second weather bulletin but the conditions did not improve. Despite the situation, the captain decided to continue to Kashin. While flying in poor visibility at a height of 85 meters, the airplane struck a TV antenna (101 meters high) located few km from Kashin, dove into the ground and crashed in flames. The aircraft was totally destroyed and all 15 occupants have been killed.

The aircraft was carrying 9 paratroopers, a crew of five and various goods for the Latvian soldiers based in the east part of Latvia, behind the enemy lines. While approaching the target, the crew encountered poor weather conditions and the captain decided to return to his base in Staraya Toropa, in the Tver region. On the back trip, the weather worsened and by night and low visibility, the crew attempted to land in below-minima conditions. On approach, the aircraft crashed in a prairie located 1 km southwest of Ramenye and was destroyed. All 14 occupants were killed.

En route, the crew encountered problems with the right engine that failed. The Captain reduced his altitude in an attempt to make an emergency landing 30 km southeast of Maksatikha. While the manoeuvre was successfully completed and no one was injured, the aircraft was damaged beyond repair.

While on a combat mission, the airplane was probably shot down by enemy fire and crashed near the village of Niva. All five crew members were killed. The wreckage was found in 2016.

Following a supply mission to the Soviet troops in the area of Rzhev, the airplane was returning to base at Lotoshino at 0030LT. About two hours later, while cruising at night at a height of 250 metres, the airplane head-on collided with a Lisunov LI-2 and crashed one km west from Blaginino. Both crew members were killed. The Lisunov made an emergency belly landing and was repaired.

The airplane was engaged in an operation to Velikiye Luki when the left engine caught fire.
