On 11 September 2024, a Russian Naval Aviation Su-30 multirole aircraft crashed in the Black Sea under unknown circumstances while carrying out a strike mission. A combat search and rescue mission was launched by the Russian Black Sea Fleet, but it was determined that both crew members had been lost.
The Russian military blogger channel 'Voevoda" claims that the aircraft was lost as a result of a mechanical issue, but does not elaborate further on this topic.
The Ukrainian Main Directorate of Intelligence claimed that the aircraft was downed as a result of a MANPADs launch. However, the video accompanying this claim does not conclusively show an aircraft being downed. As a result, while this remains an option for the crash, it can not be claimed with full certainty.
