In the plane crash, none of the crew members died and all the victims were among the local population. This flight accident happened a month after the Chernobyl disaster and was instantly classified despite the beginning of the era of Glasnost and Perestroika, which was announced by Gorbachev.
Information about this incident had to be collected bit by bit at aviation forums and from the words of eyewitnesses to this terrible event.
On May 16, 1986, a Tu-22M2 long-range jet bomber-missile carrier fell on the city of Kirov, Kaluga Region.
According to NATO classification "Backfire".
According to various sources, about 50 people then died on the spot and four more died later in hospitals. The oldest was 57 years old, the youngest was 22 years old.
Thirty-seven people received burns of varying severity that day. It is not possible to establish the exact number of victims today.
A little more than three minutes passed from the moment of takeoff to the moment of the fall of the bomber.
Dedicated to the memory of the victims.
