Military pilot Vladimir Popov said the emergency at Belgorod was due to design and production flaws. According to him, the plane flew over the outskirts of Belgorod, but the trajectory of the projectile changed during its fall.
The expert said that the sudden release of ammunition is a very rare event, and it does not depend on the pilot or the aircraft model. The reason may lie in the design and production flaws of a particular machine.
- Hanging tanks may have become detached or the electrical circuit has worked, a short circuit has occurred, resulting in a reset. There could also be problems in the operation of the bomb rack device. Judging by the size of the crater formed, the FAB-250 bomb was used,” he told Vzglyad newspaper.
It is possible that the cause of the Belgorod incident was the abnormal operation of the FAB-500M62 aerial bomb with a new planning and correction module (UMPC), which fell from the Su-34 pylon.
