It is not really wildland, dozens of small villages are elsewhere if with very poor road system. Also there is couple of large cities in vicinity and smoke from wildfires makes breathing there difficult and at +30C life is hell.

Thanks again Kulverstukas. Please update us when more info is available.

Yes, with the current political situation I'm guessing that's why the Be200 isn't more used. Very sad though - she seems like a very capable aircraft. Interesting that she passed the US tests too!
I really hope all this political gibberish dials down a few notches, trade is sooo much more interesting than armed conflict. I mean, Russia would make great impressions in the fire fighting business, SAVING lives, instead of threatening us tiny Nordic countries with non-transponder Tu95-s doing flybys across CPH and RISKING lives.
The IL-76 is a magnificient beast too. Maybe a bit complicated to fly, apparently, but isn't she one of the planes that actually can land at Antarctica?

Both Be-200 and Il-76 now has 2-crew version with glass cockpits, also you can buy Il-76 with more modern PS-90 engines instead of D-30.
PS: @MrSnuggles - also since yesterday Russian planes will flew WITH transponders ON. So the ball is on the NATO side of the field now.

CVR and FDR of Il-76TD RA-76840 was delivered to IAC lab. Both was damaged in fire. After opening it was found that tape from MARS CVR is in satisfactory condition and solid memory in MSRP 64M-5 FDR is in good condition. Both was read and copied to safe media. Preliminary analysis shows that both records has information about accident. Deciphering and analyzing is under way.
UPD: source from IAC investigation team told today that "till the last second there was routine communication in the cockpit, seems crew was unaware about dangerous a/c position"

The Interstate Aviation Committee informs about contiтuation of the activities on investigation of the accident with Il-76ТD RA-76840 aircraft.
Activities on making up the crew speech extract with identification of users by the airline air staff are being completed.
Activities on the aircraft flight path recovery and evaluation of aircraft systems and engines operability according to flight recorders data are in progress.
Subcommissions and task teams carry out the analysis of crew level of training, compliance with aeronautical equipment regulations, meteorological conditions and the procedure of emergency flight management and execution using all avaliable information (flight and maintenance documentation, meteodocumentation, etc.).
The Commission continues its work.

At the 36th minute of the flight Cpt instructed the crew to set QNH=1007 hPa and began to descend.
At 3:03:35 (45 minute of the flight) was performed right turn MK = 342° in order to get to "reserve" fire (up to 3:04:40 flight was performed in automatic control mode, then automatic height stabilization was disabled and from 3:07:10 flight was in manual height mode). Sine then flight was performed on Hg = 200-100 m, the crew reports that ground visibility was only "directly under" or none. From 3:06:27 (48 minute of the flight) and to the end of CVR/FDR recording (55 minute of the flight) for ~ 7 minutes, repeatedly recorded height warning "PUSH UP" and "GROUND AHEAD"
...
At 3:11:52 (Navigator report at 03:12 of the target range 5 km) Cpt decided on further descend, flight parameters recorded were: V = 345 km/h, MK = 190° Hb = 1000 m, Hg = 210 m, max height of the hill, located directly on the flight path at a distance of ~ 5 km, was 945 m.
At 3:12:24 navigator informed of the target distance of 3.5 km, Cpt continued descend.
