The russian occupying forces have lost another one of their Su-25 attack aircraft. According to russian media reports, the aircraft of the so-called "Russian Aerospace Forces" crashed in the Krasnodar Krai in the russian federation.

Currently, it is known that the russian Su-25 attack aircraft has crashed into the Sea of Azov near russia’s Yeysk. A series of videos from the scene of the incident have appeared online, showing the wreckage of the aircraft and the water splash resulting from the Su-25's impact.

It is reported that the aircraft was supposedly conducting a training flight, and the preliminary cause of the crash was an engine failure.

A video showed a fighter jet flying low over the sea near the shore, then plunging into the water a split-second after the pilot ejected. Initially, the occupiers reported that attempts were being made to resuscitate the pilot, but now the russians are stating that the pilot has died.

The epic moment was the reaction of the "spectators" to the plane crash. Holidaymakers asked: "Did the pilot eject? Should we help or not?" or "So it should be?"

Earlier Defense Express covered that russians introduced another modernization for the Su-25 which had been "enhanced using the experience" gained in by the russian military during its operations in Ukraine.
