💨 Abstract

A Russian SSJ100 plane experienced a mid-air malfunction, losing parts of its outer skin and engine covering, before making an emergency landing in Khabarovsk. The Rossiya Airlines flight from Vladivostok to Blagoveshchensk had 95 people on board, with no injuries reported. This incident highlights ongoing issues with Russia's civil aviation fleet, which faces potential losses of aircraft and helicopters by 2030 due to technical problems and sanctions.
