Su-25 combat jet crashes in Azerbaijan - media
MOSCOW, February 3 (RIA Novosti)
A Su-25 Frogfoot close air support aircraft crashed on Thursday in the
Kurdamir district of Azerbaijan, local media reported.
The Trend news agency cited Azeri Defense Ministry's spokesman Eldar
Sabiroglu as saying that the crew ejected from the plane and survived
the crash without injury.
An investigation into the cause of the incident has been launched, the
spokesman said.
The Azeri Air Force has about a dozen Soviet-era Su-25s, which are
poorly maintained due to budget constraints.
A previous Azeri Su-25 crash in March 2010 killed the pilot.
