Seven vessels of Russian Navy continue search operation of Tu-142 aircraft fell down in Tatarskiy Strait, said representative of Pacific Fleet HQ to RIA Novosti.

Tu-142 crashed on Nov 6 while performing training flight. There were 11 men on board. Investigation board of Ministry of Defense considers three main causes of an accident: equipment failure, human factor and bird strike. The criminal case was initiated on the basis of clause 351 of RF Criminal Code (violation of flight rules and pre-flight instructions).

"SR ships Alagez, Kazmin and five auxiliary vessels continue search activities at supposed area of the accident. There were no fragments of crashed aircraft found so far", said the interviewee.

According to him, the search operation is periodically complicated by weather conditions. However, the search will be continued.
