Russian wet dream... UK warships and submarine was in the crash sight site from day 1 since it was an exercise. That place was safely cordoned off from the beginning. The problem is recovering the aircraft.

It does look like something is burning in that video. But it's not clear what is exactly burning there. More importantly, there are no reputable sites reporting this news, which is a huge news if true since Triton is a strategic US asset.

Alleged MQ-4 shot down over Syria seems to be bogus... There's no reaction from the US Defense Department nor reports from the media like the shot down of the same UAV by the Iranians.

It was being flown by a Brazilian instructor and damaged parts will be replaced by Embraer at no cost.

Yes, both against domestic insurgency and SCS patrols. There are constant night flights among others.

Another very sad development. We clearly need more training and better maintenance. This incident looks like a pilot error but we'll wait for formal investigation.

One of the Philippine Air Force's newest Blackhawk helicopter crashed during a night flying training... RIP to the 6 personnel who perished in the crash. Perhaps PAF needs better training.

Because Russia is the originator of stupid things while US tries to play bad copycat. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.military.com/daily-news/2021/03/24/3-russian-bomber-pilots-killed-ejection-system-glitch.html/amp Russian ejection seats are killing more Russian pilots than by its...

In demos the pilots normally disengage G-limiters to be able to make crowd pleasing maneuvers. It is in these maneuvets that passing out is most likely. The F-16 is a very agile and tough little fighter. It can rocked up high Gs so quickly and easily and as a result has rendered a lot of its...

He did not eject. Most likely he passed out near or at the bottom of the loop. He had time to eject.

The pilot surpassed his own body's G-limit in effort to please the crowd. This is what I'm saying all along, extreme maneuverability is pointless when the pilot has clear biological toletances. The US has recently installed Auto GCAS into its frontline fighters to avoid this kind of incident.

This is a report on a bird strike on an F-35B lamding on HMS QE. The plane landed safely without any damage. Thankfully for the RN a wild falcon appeared and started chasing the small birds away. So falcon, either natural or robotic would be a nice investment around airports.

@Foxbat Here are more news articles on this B737 crash from major American media companies, all with specific mention that the plane was a Boeing 737-800: Washington Post...

That's called confirmatory bias. You're looking for excuses to justify your bias against the US. Consider that while NY Times and CNN failed to mention that the plabe was a B737 still the pictures in their websites clearly show it as a B737. Second, other major US news sites like Associated...
