A recent video posted online shows a Sudanese Air Force (SAF) Antonov An-32 and AN-26 collided on the runway at Khartoum International Airport on 3 October, the Sudanese Ministry of Defence (MoD) confirmed after the accident.

The MoD said the aircraft were returning from a training sortie when they collided and that the accident was under investigation.

The video footage showed the Antonov An-32 hitting the rear of the taxiing An-32. According to an eye witness account, the An-32 aircraft had just landed from ‘a training flight’ when the two Antonovs found themselves on the same runway.
