According to the Air Force Command spokesman, Colonel Yuriy Ignat, regardless of the reasons for the crash of the Russian Il-76 military transport plane in the Belgorod area, nothing should have remained as a result of its crash.
How Russia is using the IL-76 plane crash against Ukraine
Ignat quotes the Air Force chief, Gen Mykola Oleschuk, according to whom Russia's critical task regarding the IL-76 plane crash is to try to discredit Ukraine to reduce international support.
How many more IL-76s does Russia's occupying army have?
Ignat also added that Russia has about a hundred Il-76 military transport aircraft.
According to him, everyone knows that for the Russians, "the lives of pilots and one or two planes are not a serious loss in their inhuman bloody regime."
