To spread: tonight, on August 24, an extraordinary incident with a Russian military aircraft occurred in the capital of Armenia. Around 03:15, the Russian fighter was crashed into an iron pillar and then into a handrail on Arshakunitz in Yerevan, a photojournalist Gagik Shamshayan reports. According to preliminary information, no one was injured as a result of the event.

The witness of the event reported that the road to Erebuni Airport was blocked by the Patrol Police and employees of the Ministry of Defense's military police. "Military" notes that the MiG-29A, which has been accidented, is a fighter with the onboard number "15 Red" (RF-92181, Factory Number 2960526360) in 1989 production, which was stationed at the 3624th Aviation Base of Eyebuni within the framework of the organization of the Collective Security Treaty.

This air base has become the last place of the MiG-29A fighter service that Russia's airspace and space forces are actively writing off. "It is not excluded that at the time of the accident the aircraft was transported after removal from weapons, since it was last spotted in the air as early as 2022," the newspaper writes.

We will remind, on the background of exacerbation of relations of the Russian Federation with Azerbaijan personnel for the base in Humr in Armenia are recruited among servicemen who are serving in Rostov and Volgograd regions, as well as in temporarily occupied Crimea. In addition, Russia is actively seeking volunteers among the representatives of the enslaved peoples of the Caucasus - in particular, in North Ossetia and Adygea.

GUR MOU also published a telegram with the order of the temporarily acting head of the headquarters of the Southern Military District of the Armed Forces of the Armed Forces of the Russian Major General Sergei Zemuskov on the completion of the Russian military base in Humr.
