According to RT news of Russia, a tu-22m3 'backfire' supersonic strategic bomber of the Russian Air Force fell down after bad weather when landing at the air base in Northwest Russia at noon local time on Tuesday.
According to a statement from the Russian Ministry of defense, the tu-22m3 bomber encountered heavy snow and wind when it completed routine flight training and attempted to land at an air force base near olenegorsk City, Murmansk state, Russia, followed by a hard landing accident. The bomber disintegrated in the hard landing accident and was burned in the fire caused by the accident.
