A medical helicopter crashed in Turkey on Sunday, December 22. As a result of the accident, four individuals lost their lives.

This was reported by RBK-Ukraine citing the Turkish Ministry of Health on X (Twitter).

The incident occurred in the Mugla province in southeastern Turkey. The rescue service helicopter collided with a hospital building.

Four people died: two pilots, a doctor, and his assistant.

It is noted that dense fog may have contributed to the crash. The helicopter went down shortly after takeoff. The pilots likely lost their bearings in the challenging weather conditions. Following the collision with the building, the aircraft lost control and fell onto an empty lot.

According to the police, there are no suspicions of a terrorist act.

As a reminder, in August Ukraine lost one of the received F-16 aircraft. This occurred during a massive enemy attack on August 26. As a result of the crash, experienced pilot Alexey Mesi "Munfish" was killed.

Also, in the fall, an F-18 fighter jet crashed in Spain. The pilot did not manage to eject and lost his life.
