[REGNUM] The crew of the Mi-8 helicopter, which crashed on the evening of June 24 in the Gatchinsky District of the Leningrad Region, managed to move the car away from the village of Korpikyulya before the fall, the North-Western District of the Russian Guard told reporters.Judging by the photographs from the scene of the emergency that appeared in social networks and the media, when it fell into the field, the helicopter completely collapsed and burned down just a few tens of meters from the outbuildings of the village.
Recall that during the fall of a transport-combat helicopter of an aviation squadron of the North-Western District of the Russian Guard, which was performing a training flight without weapons, three crew members were killed.
The Commission of the North-Western District of the Russian Guard is investigating the causes of the disaster.
