(and after that offered on their Youtube network), the video clip reveals the ejection of a Russian pilot from a Su-25SM associated with a goal over Ukraine. The pilot was bring a GoPro-like activity electronic camera on his helmet/body, so we can obtain a rather clear concept of what expeling
from a battle airplane flying reduced degree appears like. Several information can be collected by repeating the video clip at sluggish rate: the airplane associated with the occurrence seems the Su-25SM with bort number 09 red. Quickly after the pilot expels, we obtain a glance at the Frogfoot: there appears to be fire appearing of among the engines (the picture appears turned around, so it ought to be the ideal one). Component of the tail is additionally missing out on.
We do not recognize precisely when (possibly last summer season– thought about the landscape) as well as where the Su-25 collapsed; we can not also claim whether it was obliterated by Ukrainian air protection systems (or MANPADS– Man Portable Air Defense System), as it appears more probable, or it decreased for various other factors. Whatever, the video is exceptional as it is, to our expertise, the very first ejection tape-recorded by a pilot with an activity video camera, and also for certain, the very first such type of clip originating from the present problem in Ukraine.
