Turkish Military Cargo Plane Crashes in Georgia Killing All 20 Personnel
A Turkish Air Force C-130 Hercules cargo aircraft crashed near the Georgia-Azerbaijan border on November 11, 2025, killing all 20 military personnel onboard. The plane departed Ganja International Airport in Azerbaijan at 10:19 UTC and was en route to Turkey when it crashed in Georgia's Sighnaghi municipality. Shocking video footage shows the aircraft breaking apart mid-air and spiraling to the ground.
