RT has obtained exclusive footage of the helicopter crash in central Russia, which resulted in a blast, a huge blaze and the death of one of the two pilots. 

The military helicopter went down Sunday near the city of Ryazan during the Aviamix aerobatic display. 

Ruptly’s video shows the stunt, following which the Mi-28N chopper started spinning dangerously at a low altitude. The helicopter hit the ground, with huge plumes of dust and smoke, and an explosion.

The footage also shows the rescue operation, with huge plumes of smoke billowing dozens of meters from the aircraft, and emergency workers making their way toward the chopper.
