Two pilots, who fought until the last minute to save the plane, died, according to reports from the scene," the statement said.The ministry said the plane had not come under fire, adding that "according to preliminary information, the reason for the crash could have been a bird falling into the engine".The accident brings Russia's official military losses in Syria to 86.The most recent acknowledged military loss came when a transport plane crashed on landing at the Hmeimim airbase in March, killing all 39 people on board.But Russian nationals are regularly reported to be serving as paid mercenaries in Syria and taking on dangerous missions that often lead to casualties.(Except for the headline, this story has not been edited by staff and is published from a syndicated feed.)
