A Russian Antonov An‑22 heavy transport crashed during a post‑maintenance test flight near Ivanovo (about 250 km northeast of Moscow), killing all seven on board. Authorities say the aircraft — reportedly the last airworthy An‑22 — broke up in flight, likely ending the type's active service.

Briefing
The loss reportedly removes the last airworthy An‑22, eliminating a rare heavy‑lift transport asset and marking the probable end of the type's operational service.
The crash occurred on a post‑maintenance test flight and joins a string of recent transport accidents and regulatory responses in Russia, including the revocation of an airline AOC after an Antonov An‑24 crash and a probe urging stronger pilot training following an An‑24 fatality.
