Today in the early morning (02:00AM MSK) Mi-8 on the route to the new spot of forest fire with ground firefighters crew onboard spotted crash place. Plane destroyed, nobody survived. Bodies and flight recorder reported found. Presumably, plane catches hot air into engines at climb after waterbombing and failed to avoid trees at the hill slope (900m, +225m from valley level).
