Colt40Five Posted June 3, 2008 Posted June 3, 2008 *EDIT* Why can't you edit the thread title?!? *EDIt* Interesting article about an ex-Russian military pilot in Sudan to "teach" was shot down by ground fire in sudan while flying a Mig-29F during heavy fighting. Two notables for me if the information in this article is accurate: he had to be flying pretty low to get shot by a large caliber machine gun; the famed Russian ejection system failed this time. http://www.sudantribune.com/spip.php?article27350 [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
Pilotasso Posted June 3, 2008 Posted June 3, 2008 ...or maybe the pilot or the G shock detectors never hand a chance to activate ejection and the plane went balistic into the ground. "Mig-29F"?! 1 .
Geier Posted June 3, 2008 Posted June 3, 2008 May 29, 2008 (WASHINGTON) — The Russian government confirmed that one of its citizens was killed during clashes that erupted near the Sudanese capital earlier this month. Russia’s news agency (Interfax) quoted an unidentified official as saying that a retired military pilot died in combat Looks like a simple newspaper hoax for me
Mustang Posted June 3, 2008 Posted June 3, 2008 Saw this article days ago http://www.strategypage.com/htmw/htatrit/articles/20080530.aspx
Vekkinho Posted June 7, 2008 Posted June 7, 2008 "Mig-29F"?! Yeah strange, but probably some export version for Sudan or 9-12 upgraded in Israel as I don't really think MiG-35 "Fulcrum-F" is the case! [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
