- Date: November 13, 1969
- Aircraft: Antonov AN-12
- Location: Amderma Nenets Autonomous Okrug, Russia
- Fatalities: 12
- Phase of flight: Approach and landing
- Cause: Stalled on approach; later analysis of similar 1971 crashes pointed to wing icing combined with design defects.
An Aeroflot Antonov An 12 on a cargo flight from Moscow stalled and crashed on approach to Amderma Airport. The record lists 12 occupants killed, while the source list says all nine on board died, so the toll is uncertain. The cause was first unknown and later linked to wing icing.
