The Soviet-era Antonov 26, usually used in operations against rebels, crashed while landing at the airport in El Obied, the capital of North Kordofan, an army statement said.
“The aircraft has been destroyed and all five crew members martyred, ” it said. Three army officers and two soldiers were on board.
The army said the crash was caused by “technical problems.”
The air force fleet of Russian-made planes and helicopters has suffered a number of losses in recent years, with the military frequently blaming technical problems.
Три армеских офицера и два солдата. Суданских надо полагать?
