Today is my story about the An-12B transport aircraft crash, tail number of the USSR - 10232 of the aviation of the Soviet Navy, which took place on Saturday August 4, 1984 in the Navabshah region (Pakistan), and 24 people were killed. Onboard there were 9 crew members and 15 passengers. The main passengers were the technical staff of the Il-38 aircraft maintenance group, which were on combat duty in the Indian Ocean, and flew home to replace them. An-12 was from the 327th transport regiment at the Ostafyevo airfield, Moscow. The crews of the Il-38 aircraft also carried out Combat Service in the Mediterranean Sea.
The death of the plane, its crew and passengers occurred during the Cold War between the USSR and the USA.
The Cold War claimed more and more lives on both sides. It was not customary to talk about these victims, and all deaths as a result of aviation incidents were hushed up in every possible way and entered into the secret bulletin of the Air Force Flight Safety Service on accidents and disasters in the military aviation of the USSR. Often, the reasons for the deaths of crews were distorted by the command and were far from the true causes of accidents.
What then happened to the plane AN-12B # 10232, you will learn from this video.
Dedicated to the memory of the fallen aviators!
