A harrowing video has emerged showing a Turkish military cargo plane crashing in Georgia, killing all 20 soldiers on board. The C-130 Hercules aircraft had taken off from Azerbaijan on November 11, 2025, en route to Turkey when it suddenly plunged to the ground near the Georgia-Azerbaijan border. According to Turkey's Defence Minister, the plane's crew members were 'martyred' in the crash. The cause of the accident is yet to be determined, but eyewitness videos captured the aircraft spinning wildly before breaking apart. A Turkish investigation team reached the crash site early on Wednesday, where they began examining the extensive wreckage. President Recep Tayyip Erdogan expressed his 'deep sadness' over the tragedy and offered condolences to the families of the victims. World leaders, including Azerbaijan's President, Georgia's Prime Minister, and NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte, have also extended their condolences to Turkey. The US ambassador to Turkey, Tom Barrack, offered his country's support in the aftermath of the crash. The C-130 Hercules is a versatile transport aircraft, widely used by armed forces around the world for cargo, troop transport, and special operations. As investigators work to determine the cause of this tragic accident, the international community is coming together to offer support to Turkey in its time of grief.
