Very Unfortunate that they don't have a zero-zero ejection seat like ACES II

Maybe the aircraft commander didn't like his instructor or the rest of the crew. He survived because his seat ejects from a seperate command, and he was not ejected.

That is unfortunate frown

I am a little surprised, as I thought Russian ejection seats were generally very good overall.

Here's a video from a low-altitude MiG-29 crash, where the pilot ejected low and while moving toward the ground, and it was close, but he got out OK.

No, no it's not. Got any more questions you care to ask that you could have just as easily researched online first?

Check out the average age of US military equipment. Other than F22s and F35s most aircraft are pretty old.

But it’s all about maintenance.

Remember news about Russia navy ships, submarines, aircraft carriers some broken and some rusted in the ports.

Russia don't have a single working aircraft carrier

The ship was not expected to return to active operations until at least 2022/2023

Maintenance is not exactly a Russian cultural strength, compounded by the fact that their climate is hard on everything.

A previous landlord of my youngest son who was retired 'something in intelligence' stated that he made a study of Soviet Bloc Armour capability at the zenith of Cold War escalation. It was concluded that over 70% of their AFV contingent were unservicable at any one time.
