The black box from the doomed Russian army jet that crashed in the Black Sea on Christmas Day has been found. 

The December 25 tragedy killed all 92 on board, including a teenage ballerina and the whole Red Army choir.
The plane was on its way to Syria , with the choir and dancers to entertain the troops for the New Year.
It disappeared from radar shortly after taking off from Sochi International airport. 
It is hoped that the black box will contain clues into the mystery of the crash. It will go to Moscow for urgent analysis. 
Investigators have so far pointed to pilot error or a technical fault that caused the Defence Ministry TU-154 to come down. 

The plane crash is not being treated as a terror attack.
