Narrative:
On 29 May 2020, a Ukrainian Air Force Su-27 of the 39th Tactical Aviation Brigade mistakenly landed on a runway under construction at Odessa International Airport, instead of the active parallel runway.

The pilot failed to notice the X markings on the runway. As a result, the aircraft touched the runway under construction and rolled down it for several hundred meters. The aircraft then committed a go around, flew a circuit around the airport and landed on the correct runway.

The incident was confirmed by Gennadiy Trukhanov, the mayor of Odessa.
