Abi oh. And they do not wear parachutes assuming the ejection seat works.

parachutes are a must for all fighter jet pilots but a precise chain of events have to happen and the pilot has only split seconds to make his decision to eject

hakeem4:
you think it’s Hollywood?

Unless the plane exploded mid air without warning they could have ejected.

Monogamy:
Too bad

That crash is questionable.. Let assume the jet was faulty, the pilot should have known and eject before the jet would crash

You are making sense, bro.
There should have been an ejection mechanism (if it was working) and if there is any fault the pilots would have known and quickly initiate ejection but if the aircraft was hit by a missile then the pilots may not have that time to initiate any ejection!

Monogamy:
Too bad

lol......in Nigeria,even if the jet get eject option you think it will still be working ���

Monogamy:

How many times have you heard of pilots ejecting From jets before it crash? film is not reality

Hmmmm........ the jet crashed 5 minutes after take off at an altitude of 15000 feet. Really?... and took this long to locate?.... crashed into what at 1500 feet?.... rain clouds? I'm sure they'll say most likely a flock of birds.... and don't be surprised if asked to name the bird they'll say ostrich .

It not possible for all to be faulty and the pilot would agree to fly.

MASTAkiLLAh:
do you know if the ejection system was also faulty ?

Jakumo:


No sir. Strafing runs can be as low as 200 feet AGL. Element of surprise is maximized when the jet streaks in just above the treetops.

Based on this, at that height, can't it be vulnerable to anti- jet attack and possibly brought down?

nedekid:

What if he is scared of heights?

And his flying a jet how’s that possible bro

SweetiliciousD:


Based on this, at that height, can't it be vulnerable to anti- jet attack and possibly brought down?

Yes indeed. Low-flying jets on strafing runs can be hit at any moment by small arms fire. This is a known risk for which combat aviators willingly sign up.

MASTAkiLLAh:
Guy, be logical na. Any mechanical system can get a fault from your wheelbarrows to Dangote trailers and in this case, maybe ejection systems. You don't have to insult me this early morning biko

No insult intended... Okay Jet engine get. fault, the same time mechanical system also get hooked.... Both are not in anyway linked in the Jet.... The ejection is pure mechanical and not electrical.... The two faults at the same time is quite impossible bro.... The ejection is a safety caution with parachute. It's almost impossible for the two to happen at the same time. It's either the pilot was dead before the jet crashed.

cover up story with no pics. bokoharam shut down the military jet simple and short

Why do love negative news?

We all dey wait American action movies but yes this is not America airforce but looking at it critically I observed that.
1. Either the jet is faulty judging from the time it took off and crashed ( five minutes ) that's according to the report they gave us oh
2. Either the jet is working but the ejection seat is faulty for them to have found a body at the crash site.
3. Either the Boko boys used javelin which is difficult for pilots to escape from cos it's locked on and will follow the jet how everyand where every the jet goes.
But the thing is they ever said or mentioned if the ejection seats are intact or not.

mcdokwe:
I saw a very probable video by Boko haram shooting down the craft.

The Nigerian armed forces should learn to tell us the truth, that way they can be assured of our prayers and goodwill.

That video has been discredited by several independent European military analysts

Monogamy:
Too bad

That crash is questionable.. Let assume the jet was faulty, the pilot should have known and eject before the jet would crash

Sabotage!!! all the southern citizen in the Nigeria army should be highly suspicious, remember they say they will revenge all the boko haram killed since 1999one way or the other

Sad news

Monogamy:
Too bad

Lolz, this is Nigeria, who knows maybe the eject button and system has been sold off at ladipo auto market.

Useless cou.ntry,

And what that makes you? Useless people turn a country into useless country

Viko60:

Have you been to their arsenal ?
I tell you brethren boko boys did this.
Abi this jet no get blackbox?

You guys have been told by different experts that it wasn't remotely possible but you are Nigerians anyway. Many Nigerians would choose propaganda over common sense any day, any time.

SarkinYarki:


No military jet carries an internal black box

Yes, most military aircraft, including fighter aircraft, are equipped with a "black box" called flight data recorder (FDR) / crash survivable memory unit (CSMU) / integrated monitoring and recording system (IMRS) / deployable flight incident recorder set

PerfectlyPerfect:

Military aircraft don't have blackboxes

Yes, most military aircraft, including fighter aircraft, are equipped with a "black box" called flight data recorder (FDR) / crash survivable memory unit (CSMU) / integrated monitoring and recording system (IMRS) / deployable flight incident recorder set

Just to clear your doubt.

My brother , this is not Hollywood matter, it is wat they were trained for ......almost nothing is working in this country

Check my comments on the thread I already addressed the CSMU on newer model fighters I doubt that cold war jet trainer called the alpha has that

So Leaders for the southern parts have not seen it that most of recent victims of the recent air crash were military men and women from the south.

Any tribe that kill and allow his people to be killed, especially the worriors, will soon go into extinction.

Hateandthunder:
Obviously the handwork of ESN

ESN Bama chapter

hakeem4:

he's right. If the engine is faulty midair, the pilot must /should eject, otherwise it was was hit with missile giving no time for the pilot to eject. Make we dey use some brain.

One qouta arewa yoot will come and blame "Biafra boys" and nnamdi kanu for this now

Jakumo:


Yes indeed. Low-flying jets on strafing runs can be hit at any moment by small arms fire. This is a known risk for which combat aviators willingly sign up.

Scarry tho!

Fighter jet supposed to have ejection button which is separated from the plane engine.

I have seen a lot of ejection from fighter jet in destroyed in seconds... This is not about movie

Depends on whether he was in a condition favorable to ejection.

I'm more interested in why they didn't mayday a technical fault as they went down.

You pulled this comment off XDA-dev They're not equipped with black boxes to prevent the enemy from extracting flight data

MASTAkiLLAh:

Why will everything not be faulty, when the Nigerian military budget for brand new equipments and spare parts but the procurement officers end up buying tokumbo hardware and spare parts. Most probably the ejection system was not even installed.

Anyone that has sense will believe boko boys first before naija govt.check history,bokoharam hav never lied on numbers n casualties.It is normally d naija govt that lies n coverups tins.Anything bokoharam says happened is wat happened
