Circumstances:
On final approach to Ivanovo-Severny Airport, the crew encountered poor weather conditions and the approach speed was too low so the airplane lost height. The pilot-in-command increased power when the airplane struck trees and crashed in a dense wooded area located near the Strokino station, about 5 km short of runway 29. All ten crew members were killed.
