The helicopter, inspecting a pipeline, crashed 2 hours after departure. Two surviving crew members hospitalized.
The crash of the Mi-8AMT RA-22968 helicopter was the result of the destruction of the tail rotor blade in flight and the subsequent separation of the end beam of the helicopter with the tail rotor in the air during an emergency landing, which led to a rough landing of the helicopter with rotation to a landing pad, selected from the air, capsizing of the helicopter on the starboard side and an intense fire at the AP site.
The reason for the tearing of the tail rotor blade No. G-1296 during the flight of the fiberglass plastic was the decrease in the adhesive strength of the adhesive joint of the tail section with the spar and honeycomb core.
