A Turkish Air Force C-130 military transport aircraft, registration 68-01609, has crashed near the Georgia–Azerbaijan border, shortly after taking off from Azerbaijan on its return flight to Turkey, according to the Turkish Ministry of Defense.

The aircraft was reportedly carrying around 20 people, including crew members and military personnel, when it went down. Search and rescue operations were immediately launched in cooperation with Georgian and Azerbaijani authorities, the ministry confirmed.

The crash site was located near Sighnaghi, in eastern Georgia, just a few kilometers from the Azerbaijani frontier, as verified by Georgia’s Ministry of Internal Affairs.

Videos circulating on social media appear to show the plane descending in a spiral motion trailing white smoke, suggesting a potential mechanical or structural failure before impact. However, officials have yet to confirm the exact cause of the crash.

From Ankara, President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan expressed deep sorrow, describing the victims as “our martyrs,” though no official casualty numbers have been released.

Authorities have confirmed that Turkey, Georgia, and Azerbaijan will conduct a joint investigation to determine what led to the tragic incident.

The Lockheed C-130 Hercules is one of the Turkish Air Force’s most trusted aircraft, known for its versatility in military logistics, transport, and humanitarian missions.
