An Antonov An-12 aircraft of the Russian Air Force lost its landing gear during a hard landing at a base in Iturup in the Kuril Islands on Tuesday afternoon.
The four-engined turboprop transport aircraft with tail number “09” red landed slightly to the left of the runway in a snow storm. As a result, the aircraft seems to sustain a collapsed left main landing gear along with nose gear.
Although officials didn’t elaborate on the aircraft’s damage, it was reported that the incident didn’t cause any injuries.
