into water at around 12.50pm (GMT+3, Baku) while training combat
maneuver over the sea.
Although Azeri authorities declined, some witnesses said the jet fell
into water after crashing with another fighter in training flight.
Authorities said crewmembers Afgan Aslanov and assistant Fakhraddin
Asgarov couldn't survive the accident.
The jet wreckage has been found at waterdepth of 30 meters and bodies
of crewmembers have not been pulled out yet.
