[JPost] Excellent QC/Maintenance, Vlad
The crash comes just six days after another Sukhoi aircraft crashed into a residential area.

Russian military plane crashed into Irkutsk residential building in Siberia on Sunday morning, killing two pilots, according to Russian state media.

TASS, citing the area's governor, said that the building was two stories tall.

The Su-30 warplane crashed during a test flight, RIA said. Other than the two killed, there are no other casualties reported.

No one was hurt in the house where the plane crashed, the five people who lived there were not at home, Russian media reported. Additionally, 150 houses in the area were left without electricity following the crash.

OTHER RUSSIAN WARPLANE CRASHES
The crash comes after a Russian warplane, also a Sukhoi plane, crashed into a residential building in the southern city of Yeysk shortly after take-off on Monday.

Sukhois are crashing, they're
crashing all around us!
We put cab drivers in cockpits!
While the Nazis pound us!

CRASH! There! Another!

At this rate the debris
of our forces will ground us!

#2  Weird crash. Went down like a kamikaze or as if it lost all power, including electrical.

#1  ...The maintenance side of things is going to start collapsing pretty quickly now, I think. Of course, the Russians are too desperate to let it go, so they'll launch aircraft that have little or no chance of even getting to their targets, much less getting back.
