On 13 June 2025, a Russian Air Force Su-25 attack aircraft crashed after suffering a structural failure while performing a rocket-loft during a combat mission in the Chasiv Yar direction.
According to Russian sources, the aircraft suffered a fatigue induced structural failure, caused as a a result of a sharp turn after firing a set of FFAR rockets.
The pilot was able to safely eject, only suffering an injured arm, and was retrieved by a Mi-8M helicopter on combat search and rescue (CSAR) duty.
