In the Tver region, search engines found a Soviet Pe-2 bomber with the remains of pilots

, which crashed, presumably on September 8, 1942. This was reported by the State Television and Radio Broadcasting Company “Tver”.

According to the data of the search detachment “Memory of the 29th Army”, fragments of equipment were found near the village of Monchalovo. The remains of the pilots were also found on the spot, the names of which were identified by experts from the surviving engine number. Thus, the search engines began to look for relatives of the crew members: Senior Lieutenant Vasily Andreevich Andreev, born in 1910, as well as Junior Lieutenant Nikolai Dmitrievich Koven, born in 1921.

It was also established that there was also a radio operator in the bomber Leonid Ivanovich Morozov. At the time of the plane's fall, he was able to escape and then was captured. The archival data notes that in 1965 he was awarded the Order of Glory III degree, and in 1985 – the Order of the Patriotic War III degree.

The search engines added that next to the found bomber there may be another plane, crashed in February 1942. Local people who lived near Tver during the war years told about him.

In September, in the Yartsevsky district of the Smolensk region, search engines unearthed the wreckage of a Yak-9T fighter that crashed during the Great Patriotic War.

Earlier the search engines also found the wreckage of an aircraft from the times of the war in Adygea, not far from Maykop. It is assumed that the fragments found belong to the I-153 “Chaika” model, a Soviet piston fighter of the 1930-1940s.
