Incident History
Aeroflot - Russian International Airlines
On final approach to Frunze, both engines failed. The crew attempted to make an emergency landing in a field. After touch down, the aircraft hit a drainage ditch and came to rest in a ravine. All occupants survived but the airplane was damaged beyond repair. It appears the Tupolev ANT-9 is a three engine aircraft but this model was a twin engine PS-9 version.

On approach to Moscow, the three engine aircraft crashed few kilometers short of runway in unknown circumstances. Nine occupants were killed while all five other occupants were injured. For unknown reason, the aircraft christened 'Yastreb' (Falcon) was carrying eleven passengers despite the fact he was certified for nine passengers only. DERULUFT = Deutsche-Russische Luftverkehrs

On final approach to Moscow Airport, the crew encountered poor weather conditions. Apparently to establish a visual contact with the ground, the crew reduced his altitude when the aircraft impacted trees and crashed in a wooded area located 5 km from Shakhovskaya, in the suburb of Moscow. All three occupants were injured and the aircraft was destroyed.
Aeroflot - Russian International Airlines
The airplane departed Alma-Ata on a flight to Balkhash with intermediate stops in Karaganda and Taldykorgan. Following a wrong approach configuration to Balkhash Airport, the pilot led the airplane descending with a crosswind component which caused the airplane to land on one landing gear only. The pilot increased engine power and initiated a go-around procedure. During the circuit, the airplane encountered wind up to 47 km/h and due to inappropriate techniques on part of the pilot-in-command, the aircraft descended to a height of 20 metres. While completing a turn, it stalled and crashed 2 km from the runway, bursting into flames. The aircraft was destroyed and all 10 occupants were killed.
Aeroflot - Russian International Airlines
The three engine airplane departed Kazan on a local test flight, carrying nine passengers and two crew members, one pilot and one mechanic. After a local flight of about 13 minutes, the crew decided to return to the airport. On short final, at a height of about 30-35 metres, the airplane collided with a Polikarpov U-2 registered CCCP-S227. Operated by Osoaviakhima (Kazan Aero Club), the airplane was completing a local flight with two pilots on board. It appears that on final, the Polikarpov was flying above the ANT-9 and cut his track before the collision occurred. The Polikarpov dove into the ground and was destroyed. Both pilots were seriously injured and died two hours later. The Tupolev continued for few seconds before it crashed near the runway, coming to rest broken in two. All 11 occupants were slightly injured.
Aeroflot - Russian International Airlines
The three engine airplane departed Moscow-Frunze Central Aerodrome in the morning on a local test flight, carrying nine passengers including one child and two crew members, one mechanic and one pilot. While cruising at an altitude of 900 metres, the mechanic informed the pilot about an oil leak below the right engine cowling. The pilot reduced his altitude and decided to divert to the Moscow-Oktyabrskoye Airfield. On final approach, at a height of 125 metres and at a speed of 120 km/h with both central and left engine at full power, the aircraft rolled to the right, stalled and crashed in a wooded area. The pilot and three passengers were killed while seven other occupants were injured.
