A Russian military transport plane with 15 people on board crashed on Tuesday while taking off from an air base in western Russia, the Defense Ministry said.
It said the Il-76 aircraft with eight crew and seven passengers crashed in the Ivanovo region. It didn't say whether there were any survivors.

The parts are made by a Russian company in Russia. They are certainly supplying the military.

For once Boeing is doing God's work.

I don’t disagree with the sentiment but the Ilyushin Il-76 is made by Ilyushin, not Boeing. Let’s not cross the streams incorrectly.
