A Russian nuclear bomber has crashed and explodes close to a Siberian village.
The £ 53 million war plane fell to the land in the Irkutsk region in Siberia.
The crash, close to the small village of Buret, caused a power outage in the area with the fire and the smoke of the wreck visibly from other nearby villages.
Images taken from before the crash seem to show the TU-22m3 strategic rocket carrier that sails at a low height above the sky.
Allegedly, a second clip shows the aftermath of the incident with a major fire in the distance.
According to local media, the crew of the four men on board the plane has shifted, but one pilot died.
Images, broadly shared in Russia, reportedly have one of the survivors on a nearby road that is still wearing his helmet.
The Igor Kobzev region of Irkutsk said that the pilot had sent the plane away from a residential area before it crashed.

“According to preliminary data, the pilots sent the TU-22m3 away from residential buildings during autumn,” he said.
'A deep bow for the first -class professionals and words of condolence to the family members and friends of the deceased pilot.
“The family will certainly get help.”
Photos showed the crash site this morning.
The incident was thousands of kilometers of the war zone in Ukraine and the first assessments blamed a technical problem for the crash.
The same type of aircraft crashed into the Irkutsk region last August and killed one of the crew members.
There was no suggestion that the war plane that was set up in the most recent aviation incident was nuclear missiles when it crashed 54 miles northwest of Irkutsk City – one of the largest cities in Siberia.
Kobzev added: 'There is no destruction of residential structures and no civilian casualties.
Before the crash, the £ 53 million war plane was seen by heaven at low height.
'The aircraft team of four people shed.
'A pilot died as a result of the landing according to the report of the crew commander.
'The search and rescue team that arrived on stage evacuated the crew to the place of commitment.
'The ministry services for emergency situations work on the site.
“The cause of the crash is a technical malfunction.”
This week's air disaster is the latter in a long list of Russian jets that fell out of the sky.
In March last year, an IL-76 cargo plane deposited with 15 people on board shortly after taking off.
Meanwhile in February last year a passer -by on the camera at the dramatic moment that Russian war plane dived into a fire ball on the floor after he was 'hit by a Ukrainian rocket'.
The video, which was taken in the Ukrainian village of Dyakove in the Luhansk region, showed a Russian SU-34 fighter jet who descended to the ground in a red-hot ball of fire.
A plume of smoke can then be seen that is out of the ground after it had crashed.
The TU-22m3 is a supersonic, long-distance strategic and maritime strike bomber that was originally developed in the Soviet era, which was designed to transport KH-22 and KH-32 long-distance scriptures.
Both can be equipped with nuclear nuclear heads.
