The plane crash in Brovary, in which the leadership of the Ministry of Internal Affairs died, could have been caused by the failure of aircraft due to structural malfunctions or external influences.

The exact reason should be reported by the investigation after examination of the helicopter components.

Military expert, reserve colonel of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and pilot-instructor Roman Svitan told about this in the commentary of "24 Kanal".

According to the expert, there are several versions of the cause of the crash, but the main version of this kind is the failure of the aircraft.

Who laid such a route and what was the helicopter doing over the city

In addition to the version with the failure of the aircraft, Roman Svitan considers the version of the error of the piloting technique.

"In principle, it is also in working mode, it will be reviewed, I think certain recorders have remained. They will check the work of the flight crew and the commission will give its verdict," Svitan said.

Well, according to the opinion of the Colonel of the Armed Forces, after the commission, it will become clear what exactly led to this kind of development of events.

At the same time, the military expert had questions about why the helicopter flew at such a low altitude, because helicopters and airplanes usually fly over cities at a much higher altitude.

"I flew on helicopters, fighter jets, and combat helicopters. If I went out into the city, I would have been stripped of my shoulder straps and minimum wages, I would no longer serve," said Svitan.

Roman Svitan noted that it is necessary to find out who laid such a route for the helicopter and what he was doing over the city.

These helicopters are highly praised by Ukrainian pilots...

The plane that crashed in Brovary was delivered from France.

Several years ago, new and used helicopters for the State Emergency Service were brought to Ukraine.

Roman Svitan said that this is a very good technique in itself.

"This is a helicopter that performed its tasks well, it was indeed once designed to transport a large number of people, for example, to the same drilling platforms for emergency services," said the Colonel of the Armed Forces.

Svitan also said that these helicopters are highly praised by Ukrainian pilots and have good reviews about them.

According to the expert, there are shortcomings in all the equipment, because it is brought to a certain state during operation, but, as the pilot-instructor noted, there is no problem in this and it is a completely normal approach.

We will remind you that on the morning of January 18 in Brovary, Kyiv Oblast, a helicopter of the State Emergency Service crashed near a kindergarten and a residential building.

The top leadership of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, including Minister Denys Monastyrskyi, died in the disaster.

In total, 14 people died as a result of the tragedy, one of them was a child.
