Russia uses decommissioned aircraft, such as BE-12, to patrol coastal zones, which increases the likelihood of incidents involving Russian aircraft.

The new tactic of the Russians is to use decommissioned aircraft to patrol coastal areas, so cases of Russian aircraft crashes may become more frequent. This was reported by the spokesman for the Ukrainian Navy Dmytro Pletenchuk, according to UNN

According to Pletenchuk, one of the new tactics of the new Russian leadership is to increase the use of aviation components to patrol coastal areas.

"The fleet is quite old, and the operation is quite intensive. They even brought back into service BE-12 aircraft that were about to be written off to patrol the coastal zone. So situations like today will become more frequent," the spokesman said.

Recall

In the temporarily occupied Crimea, the crash of a Ka-27 helicopter occurred not only due to technical reasons, apparently, "some kind of event" occurred on board, the Ukrainian Navy said
