New eye witnesses of the Russian Defense Ministry’s Tu-124 plane crash have been found and questioned, Investigative Committee Spokesperson Svetlana Petrenko told TASS.

"New eye witnesses of the crash have been found and questioned, one of the witnesses made a video of the plane taking off and crashing into the sea," she said. "Apart from this video, the video of the Tu-154 plane landing at the Sochi airport as well as videos showing the plane taxing toward the parking stand and its passengers going through passport control, were also retrieved by investigators."

More than 90 people have been recognized as aggrieved persons in the case over Sunday's crash of the Tupolev-154 jet into the Black Sea near Sochi, Petrenko said.

"For organizing the social payments and the (repayment of) insurance money, lists of the people who were aboard the jet, have been sent to the Ministry of Labor and Social Security and the Federal Service for Labor and Employment," she said.

  Light combat Yak-130M
  The presentation of the Ya-130M aircraft took place at the international military-technical forum "Army-2024", which was held from August 12 to 14, 2024 at the Patriot Convention and Exhibition Center. It should be noted right away that this is not just the modernization of the Yak-130 aircraft, but the transformation of a combat training aircraft into a full-fledged light combat aircraft. In the information field, this event was marked by a number of brief reports from federal news agencies. But the project, like the Yak-130 aircraft with its unique flight characteristics, deserves a more detailed review, which we decided to do.
