According to reports, one of the engines began to increase in temperature during takeoff, and during the climb it caught fire. The crew decided to dump fuel, turn around, and land the plane. No harm done.

It is worth adding that the Il-76 made its first flight on March 25, 1971, and the first production aircraft made its first flight on May 5, 1973. In total, over the years of production, 955 aircraft were produced, of which more than 100 were exported. This week it was announced the creation of a completely new light military transport aircraft, the Il-212, which will replace both the An-26 and An-72. A few days ago, due to a non-functioning engine, a Boeing 737 made an emergency landing in Novosibirsk. In September, an Airbus A320 plane made an emergency landing in a field near Novosibirsk.
