The plane crash at Pushkin airfield on February 7, 1981 became the very last accident in the Tupolev Tu-104 history, after which they were permanently retired from service. But the main reason the disaster at Pushkin airfield went down in history was because this single crash had almost entirely beheaded the Soviet Pacific Fleet. That day, in just a few seconds, the Soviet Navy lost 16 admirals and generals, including the commander of the Pacific Fleet admiral Emil Spiridonov.

Very enlightening take on this forgotten crash. Thinking of airplane crashes, but certainly not forgotten, Korean Air Lines Flight 007 came up in my mind. That may be a topic in itself, but what I thought about was the strange pre-conditions that set it up: the faulty radar stations, with cover-ups, and the poor showing during FleetEx '83 causing internal pressure within the air-defense organization. I don't know if you would be able to shed any new light on it, but it would be a very interesting topic.

Hi Bjorn, sorry I missed this comment. To be honest, right at the moment I don't think I have any information that might change the picture significantly. But I was thinking about this tragedy too. My only thought was to make a video and compare the versions that are popular on the West and in the USSR/Modern Russia. But it's more like raw concept in my head right now. Can't say for sure when and if I will be able to shape it out in the video.
