IL-76 landing accident, Mali

[MikeD]

Supposedly carrying Wagner mercenaries. Pretty hot and long landing. Apparently no, or late, go around consideration.

In that case someone might’ve been tying up loose ends.

Looks like they veered off the runway. Not an overrun. What plane was that holding short at the beginning of the video. Looks like a C130?

A C-17 parked near midfield in the parking area. These guys seemingly touched down nearly 1/3 or more down the runway. It appears to have gone off of a drop off at the end of the runway.

I don't think it's a C-17. It has propellers.

In what universe did these guys think they were going to stop? It's usually at least sort of close.

Love the optimism. "yeah we can still make it"...nope

RAF or Luftwaffe A-400 to support the UN peacekeeping mission there

A400 I believe. I was just looking at the tail.

 

[Skåning]

Looks like the A400 was holding short (orange dot) and they touched down WAY after that - 8,200ft runway. Nice job guys

Quick on the uptake daddio

Tracking the Arrival of Russia’s Wagner Group in Mali

As the Wagner Group, Russia’s most infamous private military company, entrenches itself in Mali, the international community should rethink its strategy to stymie Russian irregular efforts in Africa to better reflect local interests and complex histories.

Stupid russians doing what they do best

Due to staffing problems, they have reduced the minimum cockpit crew to 7, so that probably caused some workload issues.

They were hauling. Touching down that far down the runway is one thing, but they were hauling butt too...

Dumbasses

 

[Richman]

I was like “ahh, a little speed, big cloud of dust, but they’re in the overrun and they’re probably fine”.

Sees fireball: “ah, no, probably not”

Reminds me of this classic, with a slightly better outcome.
