Earlier, Ukrainian media claimed that the Romanian Air Force MiG-21 Lancer fighter crashed.
The plane disappeared from radar when it was over the Black Sea. A rescue helicopter was sent to search for him, which also crashed – this was confirmed in the Romanian Air Force.
As officially announced in Bucharest, the IAR 330 helicopter went in the evening to search for the MiG-21 Lancer, with which radio contact was lost. The pilot managed to report bad weather and was ordered to return to base, the Romanian Air Force said in a statement. There were five soldiers on board.
By the way, according to media reports, the Romanian fighter escorted the Ukrainian Su-27.
Recall that the President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky blamed the death of people in Ukraine on Western partners, who, according to him, refuse to close the sky and provide aircraft.
