A Russian-built Antonov-148 airliner crashed during a test flight in Russia's Southwestern Belgorod region on Saturday killing six people, including two pilots from Myanmar.

Russian news reports citing officials in the Emergencies Ministry and the Investigative Committee say the crash happened in the morning about 350 miles south of Moscow.

The Interfax-AVN military news agency said the Myanmar air force has ordered two An-148s.

It was not immediately known if the plane that crashed was to be delivered to the country.

The An-148 is a regional high-wing jet with a maximum range of about 3,000 miles and passenger capacity of 99.
