5 pages of the photos and comments at the moment.

Counter to German data (Qu.75461, i.e. SE Noworossijsk) the plane has crashed 3 km NW Krymskaja. Maybe the plane not fell immediately after the damage.

According to preliminary data, the cause of loss was 7.62-mm MG fire (Russian 7.62-mm bullet was founded inside the plane). If the German version is right (air combat with Il-2s), it was from wing MG (some Il-2s had also 7.62 mm rear MG instead of 12.7 mm).

I'll try to analyse the circumstances later.

Best regards,
Andrey
