A Russian Tu-22M3 strategic bomber, known for its formidable capabilities, tragically caught fire mid-air during a routine flight over Siberia, leading to a devastating explosion. The incident, confirmed by the Russian Defense Ministry, occurred in the Irkutsk Region, raising concerns amidst the ongoing Ukraine war. The crew managed to steer the bomber away from populated areas, preventing further casualties, but one crew member lost their life due to injuries sustained in the crash. The cause of the fire is under investigation, with initial reports pointing to a technical malfunction.

A Russian Su-27 fighter intercepted an RAF spy plane and two Typhoon escorts over the Black Sea near Crimea. The Russian defense ministry claims the interception prevented border approach, while the UK describes it as a routine operation in international airspace. Such surveillance flights are common and often uneventful. The incident highlights ongoing tensions in the region. The RC-135W Rivet Joint, an unarmed surveillance aircraft, was involved. A similar encounter in 2022 resulted in a Russian jet firing a missile near an RAF plane.
