New details have emerged regarding the crash of a Turkish military aircraft in Georgia

New information has emerged in the investigation into the crash of a Turkish C-130 Hercules military transport aircraft in Georgia. Experts have determined that the disintegration began with the separation of the tail section of the aircraft.

An initial examination of the wreckage revealed no signs of external impact on the aircraft's structure. The investigation is currently focused on analyzing the final seconds of the flight and determining the cause of the structural failure.

It has also been revealed that the aircraft was carrying approximately six tons of components and was transporting technicians and spare parts intended to support the operation of six Turkish F-16 fighter jets, which arrived in Azerbaijan to participate in Victory Day celebrations. The Turkish Ministry of National Defense confirmed the deaths of all 20 service members on board.
