Malian Air Force on 4 October lost its newly acquired Russian-made Sukhoi Su-25 Frogfoot close air support aircraft near Goa airport after a mission, resulting in the death of its Russian pilot, one army personnel on the ground, and 10 other people (two civilians and eight military personnel) injured in the incident.

A video published by Agence France Presse (AFP) showed the Su-25 descending rapidly before crashing in a plume of smoke. The crashed Su-25 is part of a batch of aircraft acquired in July this year which includes four L-39C Albatros light attack aircraft, a single Su-25 FrogFoot close air support aircraft, an Mi-24P attack helicopter, an Mi-8 transport helicopter and a single Airbus C295 tactical transport aircraft. The C295 aircraft arrived on 31 May.

Two Mi-24Ps along with a sole Protivnik-GE/59N6-TE mobile radars were delivered to Mali on 30 March this year from Russia. Mali also recently acquired four Mi-35s from Russia.
