A fatal plane crash occurred in Russiayesterday Friday (07/11/2025) when helicopter type Ka-226 crashed resulting in four people losing their lives.
Videos circulating on social media show the helicopter’s crazy journey in Russia until it crashes in a coastal village of the Republic of Dagestan.
Initially, Russian media reported that the Ka-226 was carrying tourists, but it was later confirmed that they were executives of the Russian defense company KEMZ, specializing in the manufacture of aircraft equipment for MiG and Sukhoi fighter aircraft.
In fact, the company itself announced that four members of the company lost their lives in the crash of the Ka-226, including the deputy general manager of the construction and support department of KEMZwhile two other passengers were injured.
This particular company has been sanctioned by the US because it is an integral part of the Russian war machine and by extension participates in the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
