The crash of an L-410 turboprop plane in Tatarstan was the seventh Russian plane crash since the beginning of the year, in which five or more people were killed. Two more crashes - an Il-112B near Moscow and another L-410 near Irkutsk - can also be classified as major, given the rather large size of the crashed aircraft.

If we take into account all serious aviation accidents, including those involving military and light aircraft and helicopters, then in less than ten months there were 39 of them in Russia, of which 21 ended in death.

Three plane crashes occurred with commercial aircraft - on September 12, an L-410 of Aeroservice Airlines crashed near Irkutsk, killing four people; On July 6, an An-26B-100 of the Kamchatka Aviation Enterprise crashed into a rock in Kamchatka, killing all 28 people on board; On August 12, a Mi-8T helicopter from Vityaz-Aero crashed in the same region, killing eight.

State aviation aircraft also experienced casualty accidents. So, on August 14 in Turkey, while extinguishing a fire, crashed into the Be-200 mountain of the navy, on board which there were eight people - all were killed. On September 23, a Ka-27 helicopter of the Russian border service collided with a mountain in Kamchatka, killing five people.

The L-410 that crashed in Tatarstan was also state-owned - it belonged to DOSAAF. The plane was taking paratroopers to the landing site. There were 22 people on board, including two pilots. 16 people died. This is the second DOSAAF L-410 that crashed with parachutists in 2021 - on June 19, another plane with 19 people on board fell.

Five were killed - two pilots and three parachutists.

On August 19, a prototype of the military transport Il-112V, which was preparing to perform at the Army 2021 arms salon, crashed in the Moscow region, killing three test pilots.

On September 22, while flying over radio equipment at the Khabarovsk airfield, an An-26 belonging to Flight Checks and Systems CJSC crashed, killing all six people on board.
In addition, there have been several accidents of small private planes and helicopters in Russia, as well as aircraft fatalities involving military aircraft.

So on March 23, at a military airfield near Kaluga, a Tu-22M3 bomber erroneously triggered a catapult, as a result of which three pilots died.

There have also been many different air accidents in Russia, among which in at least one case, casualties were avoided literally by a miracle - a passenger An-28 made an emergency landing on a swamp in the Tomsk region, as a result of which it even capsized, but no one was killed.

Is it a lot or a little

According to the statistics of the International Air Transport Association, which includes large Russian airlines, the situation with flight safety in the world is steadily improving.

The number of serious accidents per million flights for all aircraft in all countries decreased from 1,08 in 2017 to 0,92 in 2021, but in 2020 there was a peak of 1,58 accidents per million flights.

The number of accidents per million flights is too relative an indicator that does not take into account the situation with the pandemic - due to the coronavirus, aviation activity has decreased significantly.

The Aviation Safety Network website in its statistics of air accidents by country only takes into account accidents involving casualties of aircraft with a capacity of more than 14 people, and according to its statistics, there were six of these in Russia in 2021 - it included all three lost L-410s, two An-26s and the experimental Il-112V (which is considered a transport aircraft).

At the same time, it did not include the large Be-200 aircraft that crashed in Turkey.

According to the statistics of this site for 2021, there were 16 major accidents of airliners and business jets in the world.

At the same time, according to the Aviation Safety Network, for the entire 2015 there was not a single major plane accident in Russia, in 2016 there were seven (over 12 months), in 2017 - five, in 2018 - one, in 2019 -th - three, and in 2020 - two. True, these statistics only take into account the total number of major disasters, without taking into account the decline in air travel during the pandemic.

What are the reasons

So, the leader by a clear margin is the human factor. Insufficient and unqualified pilot training largely leads to such sad results. Aviakatastrofa.

Pilots of the old Soviet school with a substantial number of flight hours are already retiring, but unfortunately there is no one to replace them.

Many are talking about this, but so far no steps have been taken to remedy this situation.

Terrorist attacks are not the last.

Finally, this, of course, is the dilapidation of the fleet of passenger liners in Russia. 63% are old Soviet aircraft and only 37% are new aircraft.

The development of new Russian passenger aircraft is almost not carried out, so foreign Boeings and Airbuses are bought.

Many experts point out that the old Soviet models are still used, which it is high time to write them off.

Another reason is the greed of airlines, saving on the quality of aircraft maintenance and the purchase of new parts and equipment.

As a result, equipment wears out, parts are not replaced, and the aircraft becomes unusable. But it is not being removed from service. There are cases when the plane flew to full wear and tear, up to a disaster!
