Plane safety incidents in Russia have tripled since the invasion of Ukraine because airlines can't get spare parts due to sanctions

• Russia has had 180 plane safety incidents this year compared to 60 in 2022, per Newsweek.
• Sanctions have forced Russian airlines to find spare parts on the black market or from grounded planes.
• And Ural Airlines is trying to fly a stranded A320 out of a wheat field in Siberia.

Russia has seen triple the number of plane safety incidents this year compared to 2022, Newsweek reported.

Sanctions against Russia following its invasion of Ukraine have left airlines unable to get new planes or spare parts from major manufacturers.
