An Aeroflot Tupolev Tu-134A on flight SU2315 from Moscow could not lower its right main gear on approach to Arkhangelsk-Talagi. A hydraulic tank filling fitting had failed earlier from metal fatigue during taxiing at Sheremetyevo, causing fluid loss. The crew landed with the gear partly stuck, and the aircraft slid off the runway. All 62 occupants escaped uninjured.
