An An-72 aircraft exploded at an airfield near Moscow, according to the Main Intelligence Directorate (HUR).

This was reported by the Main Intelligence Directorate.

They stated that the aircraft belonged to the Russian Navy. The explosion was caused by a detonation of its power plant. As a result, the plane, valued at approximately $4.5 million, has been rendered inoperable.

It is worth noting that a week ago, on December 14, the GUR reported that a Russian Su-30 fighter jet caught fire at the airfield in Krymsk, located in the Krasnodar region of Russia.

Additionally, on October 14, a military transport aircraft Tu-134 was burned at the military airfield "Orenburg-2," which was used, among other things, for transporting the leadership of the Russian Ministry of Defense.
