Aircraft made 3 attempts to land during a thunderstorm. On the 4th attempt, the pilots were able to stabilise the aircraft enough to set down, but had used up more than half the runway before doing so. Aircraft overshot the runway by about 400 meters and became stuck in a marshy bog. (After waiting for about one hour to get military vehicles to the aircraft, passengers we deplaned, taken to the terminal and sent on their way. 'Thanks for flying Aeroflot...') Airport was closed for about 24 hours. Front nose gear was damaged, other damage unknown. Aircraft was reportedly still parked at airport two months later.
