SA 330 crash

First a Romanian Mig 29 goes missing, then a Puma looking for it. Pretty close to the Crimea. Accidental shoot downs? I hope not! RIP…

Afraid it isn't accidental - not with the Russians around!

The MiG is now found as well, apparently the pilot managed to eject. Both AC crashed on land and well within Romanias borders instead of the Black Sea. Most likely cause is speculated to be the bad weather.

The location is about 20km from the Black Sea coast and about 80km from the Ukrainian border.

Yeah, just blame the boogeyman. Romanian defence ministry stated that rescue helicopter stated really bad weather, was recalled and crashed on RTB. But never let the truth get in the way of good story?
