Russian authorities said a Russian warplane crashed into the sea on Monday during a training mission in southern Russia and its pilot bailed out to safety.
The regional administration of the Krasnodar region said that the Su-25 ground attack aircraft crashed in the Sea of ​​Azov. It said the pilot ejected and was evacuated by emergency teams.
Russian media released a video of the plane crashing into the sea off a crowded beach on the Yeysk Spit.
The Su-25 is a twin-engine ground attack aircraft that has been in service with the Soviet and Russian Air Forces since the 1980s. It was widely used during the Russian action in Ukraine.
The Russian Air Force has had a series of crashes, which some observers have attributed to a surge in flights amid the fighting in Ukraine.
