Whether it is a war or a peace, we have many fighter pilots sacrificed.
In the cognition of most people, human life is more than everything, so why do some pilots refuse to parachute when a fighter plane fails?
1. Inner pursuit and the idea of not wanting to give up the fighter
Human lives are precious, but in the hearts of soldiers, the cost of a fighter is also very precious. When something happened to
, they might have an idea of a safe crash landing with a fighter plane. Although the probability may be a little low, they will try as long as there is a little hope to minimize the accident.
also wanted to provide some experience for future accident solutions, and refused to parachute.
2. Some people leave their hope of life to others. Once a
fighter has an accident, according to normal instructions, it must be ejected one after the other, and then the front compartment can be ejected. In this case, the ejection from the rear compartment will cause the aircraft to accelerate and fall due to the powerful impact force. After a delay of one or two seconds, there may be no chance to eject.
In a flying Leopard fighter accident in 2009, the pilot in the rear cabin survived and the front cabin died in a second or two.
3. To protect the people on the ground
If an accident occurs in a no-man’s land, it can be ejected immediately and will not cause damage to the ground.
But once in the sky over a densely populated area, our pilots will never abandon the lives of thousands of people for the sake of their own lives. They will continue to control the fighter planes to no man's land, and then miss the opportunity to escape.
In 2019, a fighter jet of the Southern Theater Naval Air Force crashed during training in Ledong County. Both pilots were killed but no ground casualties were caused. Judging from the scene photos at the time, the crash site was very close to Ledong County Primary School , The reason why the pilot did not choose ejection is already clear.
So many things are not that simple. Our soldiers also bear too many responsibilities on their shoulders. I hope they can all be safe in their lives and no more accidents!
