It smashed into the water close to a beach on the Russian coast, where people could be seen swimming nearby. The jet was taking part in a non-combat training exercise when it crashed, the state-run Ria Novosti news agency reported. #russia #ukraine #fighterjet Subscribe to The Telegraph with our special offer: just £1 for 3 months.
