At least four of the nine crew members of a Russian military freighter died in an accident in a city near Moscow.

The footage shows the Ilyushin-76 is on fire as it approaches Ryazan after being hit and before it explodes.

The words of the audience are heard. She flies towards us.

“Very terrible, it flies towards us… it crashed into the house, look.”

After the fuel stopped early Friday morning, the plane had difficulty taking off from the city.

The Russian Defense Ministry claims it encountered engine failure during a training flight and attempted emergency access.

According to local media, it landed on the highway and firefighters put out the fire in a matter of hours.

The state news agency TASS said an unnamed official said “two were removed from the burned plane.”

Three crew members were sentenced to death at the scene and the other died in hospital.

According to another Kremlin publication, five servicemen were seriously injured and hospitalized on Friday morning.

The Russian government claimed that there were no local casualties or damage to the ground, except for some power lines destroyed.

Most of the Ilyushin-76 aircraft are at least 30 years old and are not a significant development of the original Soviet-era design.

Ryazan, more than 100 miles southeast of Moscow, far from the war zone, is the main base for Russian paratroopers heading to Ukraine.
