It added that the incident “may have been due to a technical malfunction” and that a rescue team recovered the bodies.<\/p>\n

The incident is the Russian army’s second deadly crash in Syria in less than a week. On May 3, a Russian fighter jet crashed after taking off from an airbase, killing both pilots.<\/p>\n

Monday’s accident brings Russia’s official military losses in Syria to 88.<\/p>\n

Russian nationals are also regularly reported to be serving as paid mercenaries in Syria and sometimes killed.<\/p>\n

The most recent large military loss acknowledged by Russia came when a transport plane crashed on landing at the Hmeimim airbase in March, killing all 39 people on board.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
