The other day, the Russian Air Force lost the Su-35C or more than 2 billion rubles, if in money. They lost absolutely ingloriously – on the exercises – and most importantly not for the reason that was declared the military.
Recall that immediately after the incident, the press service of the Eastern Military District informed the media that the cause of the crash The engine failure was. However, now There was information that the cause of the incident was an incorrectly installed switch of thermal and dipole traps to the “automatic” mode.
The aircraft protection system was aroused to irradiate aerodrome radar and began shooting traps. Thermal traps ricocheted from the runway and crashed into board. Observing the rise found that the plane caught fire, and the pilot was given an order to eject, that the latter successfully performed.
The plane flew up on the autopilot, scored 13 km of height, flew a little more than an hour in cruising mode and, having spent fuel, collapsed to the ground. That is how the machine with the engine has behaved, as we understand. It seems that someone is trying to cover their own incompetence with a malfunction of the technique. Well, nice try.
