A Russian supersonic bomber has crashed into Russia's northwest due to the snowstorm. Two crew members lost their lives in the country, while two others were injured and taken to the hospital. The news has been disclosed by the Russian Defence Ministry, which also confirmed that the plane had no weapons on board at the moment of the crash.
Russian officials said the storm that struck the bomber is extremely dangerous and rare, which occurs mainly in the Arctic areas. It's almost impossible to predict, and it gets worse very quickly.
The plane that crashed is Tupolev Tu-22M3. That's a long-range supersonic bomber that can hold nuclear missiles. This aircraft model was released for the first time in the late 1980 ' s.
