President Zelenskiy has grounded all Antonov An-26 turboprops after Friday’s crash near Kharkiv that killed 19 air force cadets and seven officers. The pilot reported the left engine had failed in the 43-year-old military trainer transport and tried to land at Chuhuiv Air Force base. The black boxes have been recovered. One cadet survived by either jumping out or falling clear of the burning wreckage. Fabricated in Kyiv from 1969 to 1986, An-26s are no longer used by passenger airlines in Ukraine. About 26 are in use by Ukraine’s Air Force and Navy. According to the Geneva-based Bureau of Aircraft Accidents Archives at least 10 Antonov An-26 are believed to have crashed since 2017.
