The crash of a SU-24M aircraft in Khmelnytskyi may have been triggered by a bird strike, according to the State Bureau of Investigations (DBR), which has analyzed data from the black box. The flight records indicate that during the flight, elements of the control system on the left wing failed. This malfunction resulted in the aircraft losing control and beginning to spin around its axis. The plane descended from an altitude of over 600 meters while reaching speeds of 809 kilometers per hour.
