16-Year-Old Boys Set Helicopter on Fire in Russia

In Omsk, two schoolboys have set a helicopter on fire at a local aviation base. They were promised $20,000 for the act of arson.

According to base reports, the schoolboys entered the aviation base on the evening of September 21. The boys threw fuel on a Mi-8 helicopter and fled the scene.

However, they were soon apprehended. It turned out that the perpetrators were 16-year-old Roman and Anton. The teenagers revealed that they received the task to burn the helicopter via Telegram and were promised a large sum of money for their involvement (though they never received the promised amount).
