An alert was sounded today (11.11.2025) in the Turkish air force, as a transport aircraft of type C-130 crashed into Agriculture.
The Turkish C-130 took off from Azerbaijan bound for Turkey, but for an unspecified – so far – reason it crashed in an area near the border with Georgia.
In videos published on social media, it appears that the Turkish plane’s fuselage has been severed with part of it spinning in a downward course towards the ground.
