In November 27, 1996, a Russian Air Force Ilyushin Il-76MD transport aircraft, registered as RA-78804. was involved in a accident near Abakan Airport (ABA), Russia. The plane was on a cargo flight from Moscow Zhukovsky Airport to Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky Airport, with a scheduled stopover in Abakan. Carrying an official payload of 30 tons (66,137 lbs), the aircraft underwent refueling at Abakan before attempting takeoff. However, during the climb-out phase, the plane ascended with an unusually shallow climb angle, deviating from standard procedures. Instead of initiating a turn 4 km from the runway at a minimum altitude of 200 m, the aircraft continued on a straight path until reaching the designated altitude. By this point, the plane was turning towards rising terrain. Tragically, the aircraft collided with a hillside 14 km beyond the runway, resulting in a fire, 23 died instantly in impact with 0 survivors.
