Turkish plane crash in Georgia caught on cam, all 20 onboard dead

Visuals circulating on social media showed a Turkish military cargo plane crashing in Georgia, killing twenty soldiers on Tuesday, as investigators scramble to determine the cause.

The C-130 aircraft had taken off from Azerbaijan for Turkey and went down in Georgia.

Turkey’s defence minister said in a message posted on X, “Our heroic comrades-in-arms were martyred on November 11, 2025, when our C-130 military cargo plane, which had taken off from Azerbaijan en-route to our country, crashed near the Georgia-Azerbaijan border.”

Visuals showed the plane breaking apart as it plunged to the ground shortly after taking off from Azerbaijan. All twenty people on board, including the flight crew, died in the crash.

Turkey has not yet disclosed the cause of the accident, but videos captured by witnesses showed the aircraft spinning sideways in the air, with debris seen falling alongside it.

A Turkish investigation team reached the crash site early on Wednesday and began examining the wreckage, which was spread over a large area, according to broadcaster Haberturk.

Leaders of Azerbaijan and Georgia, along with NATO secretary general Mark Rutte, also expressed their condolences. The US ambassador to Turkey, Tom Barrack, offered his country’s support following the crash.
