The pilots of the downed Russian warplane were probably killed in the Black Sea near Zmiinyi Island.

In the evening of December 5, the Russian search and rescue aircraft An-26 was near the Zmiinyi Island in search of the crew of the Russian bomber, said the spokesman of the Air Force, Yurii Ignat.

“Currently, the Russian An-26 search and rescue aircraft is trying to find Russian pilots – the crew of the Su-24M bomber – in the waters of the Black Sea,” he wrote on Facebook.

On December 5, near the Snake Island, the Ukrainian military shot down a Russian warplane that was coming in to attack the Odesa region.
