This once again proves that you need to buy reliable and modern equipment. Such as Su-30 and Su-34. And in the future, Su-35

[gray smeet]

Maybe it was shot down? AND?

It's a hard profession to be a pilot.
One friend of mine, a pilot, once told me: “It happens that you board a plane and don’t know whether you will return or not. But you still want to fly, and you understand that it’s better than flying, I still don’t know anything else. ”
Another civil aviation pilot once told me that "practice shows that the life of pilots is generally short. They do not all die by their death. Well, then you need to live your life so that you are well remembered, - to bring people how as much benefit as possible. " He said that and crashed after 2 years. He was a very good person. Mandatory. And he loved life very much. He treated everything in life like the last time. His son grew up and also chose his father's profession.

Duck, you get in the car and you don’t know whether you will return or not .

Su-xnumx are also falling. Any plane crashes sooner or later, it is a matter of raid and the number of sides. F-30 is now the most common aircraft in the world, and therefore fall once a week.

He is also single-engine, which does not add to his reliability.

[Samen]

That's right!
Buy Russian DRY !!!

[Berg berg]

soon the Indians will know when they start flying on rafals!)

[RUSIVAN]

Does this only prove that all equipment can fail, or did you forget the recent example with the Mig 31, also during a training flight?

[Funnels]

It happens. Horseradish with him, with iron, sorry for the pilots.

[Maksus]

Condolences to the relatives of the pilots. It is a pity that the catapult is not always a panacea.

[denni]

It’s a pity to people, but let the Amer pieces of iron fall — maybe they’ll decide to buy our cars?

[Const]

They crashed into the ground. Oh and dark Egyptian nights.

[Primus pilus]

All that is heavier than air sooner or later falls.

[pavelty]

Well, technology, it is technology ... failures occur both with us and with them. they’ve even more often lately

[maksim]

the old equipment is falling, the crew is sorry

[Arktidianets]

Sorry for the pilots, no car

F-16 requires careful maintenance and preventive maintenance.
He does not forgive hacks.
But if you keep it according to the instructions, it turns into an effective working
a horse. And he can maneuver the battle, and work on the ground in the same way
good.
It is loaded, like a camel, all sorts of bombs and pylons
and he pulls them perfectly on one engine.

The loss of life is always a tragedy. Glands can be bought new.

[Mavrikiy]

"F-16 requires accurate maintenance and preventive maintenance."

Exactly. Smart, Egyptians, flew on MiGs, ai shaitan arba. F-16, oh yakshi. But you have to pay.
Our weapons are the best. Why? Because it is a tool.
Amerovsky is a mechanism. I took a gun, take a workshop with me, it’s definitely useful.
