Terrific landing of a Tu-22 Bomber in low visibility conditions

January 22nd, 2019 - Murmansk Region, Russia - The Russian Tu-22 supersonic bomber was attempting to land at Olenia airbase after a training sortie in very low visibility conditions. The heavy snowfalls were contributing to the low visibility. While the aircraft is a few feet above the runway, the pilot should flare to reduce the descent rate. But this maneuver is not done. The plane hits the runway hard, bounces and breaks in two. Four crew members were onboard: three were killed and the fourth one received serious injuries.
