A Russian Tu-22 bomber made it through an engine failure during an exercise in the Astrakhan region in the south of the country. According to the military, the bomber was conducting a planned flight when an engine breakdown forced the pilots to carry out an emergency landing. They managed to land it on the ground safely, outside of any settlements. This reported by Sputnik.

The military also noted that during the incident, the plane was not carrying any bombs and due to the crew's skill, the aircraft didn’t cause any damages or casualties.
