+Gepard 11,303 Posted December 19, 2017 The MiG-29 has an outstandig ejection seat. It works very well. Interestingly Janes claimes, that the pilot does not eject. He was found in the wreck, with minor injuries. http://www.janes.com/article/76531/polish-mig-29-jet-fighter-crashes Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RUSTYMORLEY 162 Posted January 15, 2018 Engine failure possibly or some other malfunction, but I guess pilot error cannot be ruled out either.!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
