Circumstances:
The airplane departed Vypolzovo on a cargo flight, carrying five crew members and a load of 2,4 tons of military equipment. After takeoff, the airplane climbed to a height of 50-70 metres then started to lose altitude. The left wing collided with a pole and was sheared off. Out of control, the airplane crashed on a wooded house located near the airfield. Four crew members were killed while a fifth occupant as well as two people in the house were injured.
Probable cause:
The accident was caused by the failure of the carburetor, causing a loss of power on the left engine and a subsequent loss of height.
