Russian Fighter Jet Crew Killed in Ground Ejection System Failure
A recent incident at a Russian bomber aviation regiment led to the tragic deaths of a pilot and navigator. The ejection system of an aircraft, likely a Su-34 or Su-24, activated while parked inside a shelter, resulting in fatal injuries. The cause is likely linked to maintenance failures or accidental triggering, which can be seen as a rare but possible cause. This event follows the recent downing of a Ka-52 attack helicopter by friendly fire, further highlighting ongoing issues.
