Is this a new video or an old one? I see it's taken from Euronews, so relatively new?

Haven't seen such low deployment of canopy before - even though I've seen a number of BASE jumps IRL. They work pretty good, those catapult chair thingies.

I'm not a pilot, but it's amazing to me that someone thinks that fast. They go from fighting for control, to ejecting so quickly.

Hehe, when K-36 was first shown on an airshow back in 89 IIRC, when 2 MiG-29s collided - people said that one of the pilots was advertising for Winston... When medics came for him he just dumped his chute, took a pack of Winston out of his pocked and lighted a cigarette, waving doctors to go away because he's OK...

This is from a few years back, I forget where it was but it's been around on the net for a while now

And leave a chance that the plane will crash the tribunes full of public?...

would that be a "touch and go"?

Seems like those planes always crash...pilot error but still they could atleast give them a bi-plane.

At that point it looked like it was going straight into the ground, and not into the crowd, or an orphanage, or a basket of cute kittens.

Controlling whether or not it went into a crowd would require exactly that... control. Didn't look like they had much of an option there.

Russians have the craziest test procedures for their ejection equipment.

Tough Bird it was, seems like very little damage done to airframe.

Seats work very very well, I guess thats way the waited so long, gota have the faith

but have to give them only a touch and no go, they can't log that as a landing

Glad no one was hurt.

They build some great AC over there, hope things go well for them
