As claimed by military sources of the portal, the accident occurred during the second attempt of landing. At the same weather conditions, they said, was good, visibility was 10 km, the wind is 12 knots, seas to 4 points.

the su-33 was the second aircraft in the composition of the air group “Admiral Kuznetsov”, which crashed since the beginning of the participation of the cruiser in a military operation in Syria.
