Found this morning (local Siberian time) - destroyed after crashing into forest killing all 10 crew

Rescue (recovery) crew on site, but haven't seen any pics of crash site yet. Have a feeling nothing much left.

Sister aircraft doing what they do - impressive sight

Sad indeed. Firebombing is not easy flying
