Russia have an abysmal problem of too frequent accidents in planes , that people in this forums
does not want to admit is real. So is not only TU-154. Is the entire military aviation industry
from hellicopters to planes. THe mi-8 crash almost every month killing more than a dozen of passenger per time. is a flying coffin. I really think the problem is far more than the plane,
but all to do with the quality controls in Russia and poor supervision and training of mechanical
staff. Russian airliners civilian private industry does not show such abysmal level of accidents
that Russia military aircrafts show.
As usually you need to take in count how many Mi-8 derivates are flying on regular basis... thousands. When you fly alot, accidents are to happen. Same with car accidents, you will have far more accidents involving Golf 5 than Mercedes SLK.
