This week there was an incident with the F-22 #Raptor of the #US Air Force.





The exact reasons are unknown, but the source of The War Zone said that the aircraft too early removed the chassis and slipped on the runway. The pilot successfully catapulted.

IAF MI-17 Crash in Kedarnath :tsk:..Crew are safe with minor injuries as per Shiv :yo:
Few observations:
  • Landing was way fast.
  • Descent based landing rather than VL.
  • Looks like pilot was not aware of fences, could be possible as from there perspective it could be obscured.

Unfortunately I hate to write this, that landing was bad, but at least the crew survived to fly another day, hopefully.

Indian Navy IL-38SD Emergency Landing in Russia, All Crew Safe...

Landing of the plane was "successful", said the company "Ilyushin". Earlier, the Il-38SD aircraft of the Indian Navy requested an emergency landing due to the unreleased landing gear rack

Russian Su-30SM Fighter Jet Crashed Off The Syrian Coast Killing Its Crew


TYLER ROGOWAYView Tyler Rogoway's Articles

Details are emerging regarding the crash of a Russia Su-30SM multi-role fighter—a modernized derivative of the Flanker family of jets—that occurred just off Syrian shores. According to Russian media sources, the aircraft came down in the Mediterranean shortly after takeoff from Russia's Hmeymim Air Base which is located south of the port city of Latakia. Sadly, both crewmen onboard the jet died in the crash.


Images have started to show up on social media depicting a rising cloud over a disturbance in the waters off Jabla. We cannot confirm the authenticity of these photos at this time.

Russian officials are saying the pilots heroically fought to get the jet under control before the crash and that it may have been due to a bird strike or ingestion, which does happen from time-to-time.

Russia's master air base in Syria has hosted a steady contingent of at least four Su-30s since Moscow's intervention in the Syrian civil war began in the fall of 2015. In recent weeks, the base has seen an influx of higher-end air power even though Russian President Vladimir Putin declared victory over ISIS and announced a major drawdown of forces in December of 2017.

@obretix: Lots of planes at Hmeymim air base on 15 Apr 2018: 12 Su-34, 9 Su-24, 3 Su-25, 4 Su-30, 4 Su-35, 2 Il-76, An-26, An-30, 2 A-50, Il-38(?), Il-20/22, An-124 and 2 IRIAF C-130 and 3 SyAAF MiG-29 that were flown to safety…

Since then, the Russian forces—and those seemingly of Russian origin—have suffered significant losses. More frequent asymmetric attacks on the country's primary air base in Syria have also been observed.

It is worth noting that the Russian Navy has forward deployed Su-30s to Syria recently in what seems by all indications as a push to provide more robust airborne anti-ship capabilities to the Eastern Mediterranean. ISIS and anti-Assad rebel forces don't have a Navy, so it's impossible for Moscow to spin these capabilities to be related to the Syrian civil war. Russian Air Force fighter aircraft were first seen carrying anti-ship missiles while flying out of the base during the ramp up to what became U.S.-led trilateral cruise missile strikes on Syria on April 13th, 2018.

Less than two weeks later, Russian Navy Su-30s were first photographed at the base. One of those images appears at the top of this article. Just two after that image was taken, on April 24th, 2018, Russia sunk a decommissioned patrol ship off Syrian shores using Su-30SMs firing anti-ship missiles. The exercise seemed was clearly part of Russia's new initiative to make it clear to peer state competitors that they have advanced anti-access maritime capabilities of the aerial kind now deployed to their base in Syria. Also, if you were wondering, no, Russia's Su-30s are not carrier capable.

Ka-50 series helicopter features ejection seats which is rare for helicopters even then the pilots dies so was the case with Su-30s , are pilot not using ejection seats ? Even when they see inevitable crash or is this a coverup ?

Russia is losing so many aircraft in Syria, it must be sabotage! France has not lost any aircraft in Operation Chammal.

One thing is for certain, it couldn't be pilot error.
