As F-16s arrive in Ukraine, a video published on social media shows the Russian pilot dangling from a parachute as his fighter aircraft falls far below, but just who “they” are is not clear.

    His (combat jet) flying days are likely over. You can only handle one, maybe two ejections before it messes up your spine from the high G-forces.

      Not sure that’s Russian policy if they’re low on pilots.

        Yeah that would be the policy for a normal country but considering Russia they will put him in aircraft until he stops breathing.

        Good point. They probably don’t care if their pilots get permanently paralyzed from one too many ejections, considering their complete indifference to their front line soldiers becoming part of the Meat Cube™.

        You can still fly but you’re not allowed to eject anymore

          Graduate from pilot to payload.

      Here I assumed they probably had ejection-seat experience as standard training. But that makes sense I suppose.
