    Come on buddy F-22 RAPTOR is also a Failure I mean a crap watch?v=faB5bIdksi8 so stop degrading others

  • what a shitty pilot in a shitty aircraft.

  • Glad he lived. That was cutting it damn close.

  • All the people arguing are idiots. I'm American and I think the Russians design some great aircraft. This video proves it.

  • @XxKLBIxX and good ejection seats as well

  • He is dead ? :(

  • @shadowfax0417 You idiot the Mig was stolen by the Americans, it came out first - LOL...

  • @shadowfax0417 YouTube search "F22 Raptor Exposed - Why the F22 Was Cancelled" by worldwar3news...

    What a crock of shit - Bring on Eurofighter and its new 360deg Thrust vectoring tranche...

  • @shadowfax0417 Nechci ti nadávat nemám to ve zvyku.Ale podívej se kam ameryčané dotáhli raketoplan. Rusové řekli před 30 lety Buran ,že to je koncepce nedobrá a šli jinou cestou. A dnes si USA nechá tahat věci nahoru od rusů. Hele špionáž je oboustranná nedá se nic dělat. Zdar :-)

  • Is the written explanation of the crash your own words? It's very well written and very detailed. Whoever wrote it did an amazing job.

  • Holy shit... the description is dead on accurate.

  • Russian jets should be banned at all airshows .

  • damn!!

  • Of course russia makes the best ejection seats, because they make the worst planes and would run out of pilots if they didnt spend all their time developing ejection seats.

  • IS THAT PILOT OK FLEW RIGHT IN THE FIRE!!

  • @samhicks97 i heard he suvived very lucky pilot

  • @TheMtaTeam Its Anatolij Kvocur, probably the best russian jet fighter test pilot...

  • @TheMtaTeam

    lol ofc, he did, he is talking in this video :D

  • It was actually a BBC Top Gear race from 100ft to ground level. Who would win, the aircraft or the pilot? Actually The Stig won.

  • And all the american bullshitters are here...when Russia has a tragedy or a crash, those mother fuckers always come to have a laugh..

  • @madedd02 true..but does rusians laugh when americans have crash or any tragedy??

  • Comment removed

  • @madedd02 they just cant accept that any other country is better than them.

  • wtf what was going on with the ejection seat ?

  • BETTER CHECK YOUR FACTS..ON EJECTION SEATS .. DUST BITE ....WHERE DOU GUYS GET YOUR INFO GEEZZ:p

  • BETTER CHECK YOUR FACTS..ON EJECTION SEATS .. DUST BITE ..

  • The Soviet ejection seat technology even years before this accident was acknowledged to be the best in the world

  • Hmm, still recall how the Soviet Generals who led the Soviet training of the Iraq military claimed that the Iraqi military would give us hell before Desert Storm....

    The Soviet trained and equipped air force ran, defected to Iran or buried itself in sand. What happened?

     Regarding Soviet vs US fighters in Korea or Vietnam, we can throw numbers around all night but nothing hides the fact that American ground or naval forces in both conflicts were never threatened by Soviet made aircraft.

  • @rampking1 Iraq used cheap copies of Soviet equipment, with cheaply trained crews.

  • @Spockkker Iraqi pilots were trained in the Soviet Union / Russia

    There are no "cheap" copies of MiG-25's

    or Mirage F-1's. ( they had both)

    Can we agree that the former Soviet Generals were full of borscht with their big talk?

    Btw, Chile just received some used F-16 block 10's with upgrades from Holland to counter the Export MiG-29's of Peru...

    old F-16's but they are still very happy and confident.

  • @rampking1 yeah, but Peruvian Migs have pilots from the Amazon jungle that have helmet mounted poison blowdarts..

  • @letzteschlact2 I would not dismiss any people with INCA blood within them.

    Plus, in their own way I also consider them "Americans" as well.

    Nice to see a joke though...just spent the last two nights exchanging comment with a big Russian aircraft suppporter....so many excuses and so few facts.

  • @rampking1 Look up Clausewitz's comments on "military virtue" and the importance of a national commitment to the war effort in determining how well an army will perform. The regular Iraqi forces didn't have the discipline and determination to keep Saddam in power. The Republican Guard did, but they were only a very small part of the total forces. Soviet weapons are good. The will of the soldier makes them useful or not. Look what the Vietnamese did with home-made knock-off Simonovs.

  • @leftysergeant

    Good observation and largely true. I followed the build up to this war.

    So many "experts" from BOTH sides giving rave reviews of the Iraqi military. ( From former CIA men like Stansfield Turner to Soviet Generals with intimate knowledge of the Iraqi military)

    Many were talking about American soldier body bags coming back in thousands!

    Do you recall this?

    The "rules of engagement' war?>>>>cannot compare the two.

    The Vietnamese want us back now,jobs, tourists and military!

  • @leftysergeant

    You were stationed at Wheelus AFB ?

    I had a friend years ago who was stationed there.

    Did you ever get out to see the crash site of Lady be Good B-24?

  • @rampking1

    What happened with the U.S. trained Georgian army? :)

  • @zx169 No stinger missiles, no heavy panzers, fighter aircraft and on and on ! This was a joke correct?

  • Russians can't fly =(

  • thats is a evidence that the k 36 is the best ejection seat in the world

  • @cvonta The k36 is so good the after years the Americans finialy decided to copy it !

  • @kamphwagon1 It's obvious that the Russians need it more......seeing how thir jets are shit and they can't fly

  • @vTool1000 Bird strikes have nothing to do with a pilots ability nor the quality of the A/C the Mig 29 is a exclent fighter and the Germans even fly them, sorry that it chapps your butt that a Russian ejection system desighene was superior to anything US engineers could come up with !

  • @kamphwagon1 German Luftwaffe gave them to Poland.

    Still searching for a great combat record from this fighter.

  • @rampking1 Their combat record is much like most present American fighters , against third world countrys, theres hasent been any direct combat to amount to anything where Russian A/C vs American since Veitnam where the pilots skills were nearly the same, the Mig 29 with current electronics is on par with the F15, and a good flight & saftey record.

  • @kamphwagon1 Regardling the F-15, I guess you haven't seen the YT video of the USAF F-15 which safely returning from a combat mission with most of it's two rudders shot off or the IAF F-15 which lost 75% of it's starboard wing after a collision with another IAF fighter and still returned to base.

    Third or Second World, whatever,outside of one incident between India and Pakistan, where is the great combat record?

    Why the smoky engines?

    Btw, Iraq was trained and equipped directly by the USSR

  • @rampking1 You ought to know what happened to the Iraqe AF they never left the ground but once or twice and was evacuated to Iran evidently you didn't pay much attention to my first coment on Russian vs US fighters eating those red white& blue french frys eh? instead of reading.

  • @vTool1000 watch the CF18 crash at lethbridge ... american jets fly just the same as the russian jets when they stall at high alpha low altitude

  • fucking stupid russians!..they destroyed the grass ....

  • though the years many sources of UNKNOWN quality had stated Mig 29 engines are of not so great quality. BUT, they can burn almost ANY fuel. but their durability is something with the composition of metals used. I invite anybody to help me correct myself with my history since you guys know so much. Cause soberek can no possibly mean that a two engined fighter looses control if one engine dies??? naah, can't be. Question is if damage engine started to shed blades ...

  • I have to add I am a bit confused ... I think ONE engine should be sufficient to keep the hydraulics pressure up ... the only threat to this that I know of is if the damaged engine sheds its turbine blades ... then they can cut through the wall of the intake ducts and cause damage to a lot of essential systems in the aircraft. Is that what you are talking about? Cause from the ouside with no knowledge it looks like he is doing absolutely NOTHING to avoid the crash.

  • except from that the Mig-29 is a very bad fighter. You could wish for more lift from the body. This video only shows the last seconds before impact. But from what I remember the bird strike was during a climb and many many many seconds whent by and he didn't recover, he just keeled over and crashed. And my only explanation for that is too low airspeed and too low authority. No, u want to see a real ace look up the Su-30 MKI crash in Paris, that is a true Russian Ace. Salute!!!

  • boom

  • LUCKY SON OF A BITCH!

  • @The22NITSCHKE NOT lucky. He's a masterclass fighter test pilot, a real legend in Russia and around the world. Also, the state of the art ejection seat, zero-zero class K36 from Zvezda. Believe me, these guys never bet anything on luck. What happened here was an engine dying after sucking in a bird, which caused the loss of lift. The pilot spend all time after that occurred to make sure the plane will crash in a safe place, and bailed out @the last moment. Superb professionalism.

  • @soberek damn straight.

    There is no such thing as luck in aviation, dare I say it. You either know what you are doing and have the right equipment behind you, or you don't.

  • @soberek He didn't had to crash the jet. It has two engines. Problem here is one engine died and the other was completely fully spooled up and airspeed was low and little authority of control surfaces with asymetric thrust and the jet was going to go into a spin. I always wondered if the crash really was necessary. Or maybe the pilot just selected the safest way out crash the thing and be 100% sure no civilians die????

    Maybe he could have saved the jet depending on authority in side rudders.

  • @MajSolo Sadly, He had to. This crash is not because of lack of power, and You're right, one engine on full power should be sufficient to avoid the crash. But it was caused by losing control. When one engine suddenly stops, the hydraulic pump for the control surfaces stops too, because it gets shredded by the momentum of the second engine (it is driven by both engines and is the weakest point of the plane). Emergency pump took over, but it gives only a few seconds of control, which He used here.

  • @soberek ok then, cause from what I remember from another video is I see no hard deflection of the control surfaces to counter the yaw, he just keels over and crash. But you point out something here that I didn't know that explains why it looks the way it looks when he is going down.

  • @soberek wtf!..u forget to say that this guy is russian..and u are the same..so stop so much talent....is a motherfucker shit red ass russian..drunk to much ...rest is commercials and bla, bla, bla...

  • @GRATZIANI2002 Guess what u prick. I'm not Russian, and you're a sad piece of dog shit. Get a life.

  • @soberek look who's talking!..u read what u write?..go fuckyourself!..lick russiian asses..epic beard..

  • I remember watching this on BBC News when I was living in England. Came back to see it again, to compare with the visually similar CF-18 crash in Canada yest'y or today. Kvochur was very lucky.

  • No he didn't die.. He now runs an aeroplane disaster shop (everything under a pound) in the Urals. Can't argue with those prices!

  • @philipbebb LOVE IT..i get banned on videos for saying things like this never mind

  • did he died?

  • you can see the canpoy fly and fall near the pilot : O 

  • cant understand the voice over

  • The Russians do seem to have a way of screwing everything up. If not they might be REALLY dangerous.

  • @SpeedyNeutrino43 I didnt heard about technics of controling plane with one engine. Also, try to remember this phrase that when atomic bombs fall to WDC.

  • Thanks for your text eplanations. Anyone feel like doing a voice overdub in English?

  • Anatoly Kvochur, you are lucky one!

    Анатолий, Вы в рубашке родились :)

  • oh..uh!..every air show you look, you'll find some kamikaze russian airplane...if pilot survive, he's the tip of the top!...shit!..

  • @GRATZIANI2002 Yep, I am puzzled that you haven't done any search on YouTube, just to find that there are a much more non-Russian planes crashing at air shows. And A.Kvochur is great not only because he survived the crash, but because he is one of those test pilots that - often risking their lives - helped to develop the flying characteristics of MiG-29 and Su-27 to the levels that are yet to be matched.

  • @tanevivan yes!..i believe u!..for me it looks like pilot's mistake..  russians are specialists in any matter ...best in everything...let me tell u that looks like propaganda...old fashioned...they try to make u believe that even what u see is not true...I'm sure the airport's grass was in charge with this...but , please, check the net, and SURE you'll see a lot of this "russian best pilots"..almost every airshow...

  • @GRATZIANI2002 Yes, i believe you too:-) Being unaware of the facts - it is like propaganda indeed...

  • ah the mig-29...or as we call 'em...drones

  • @TowManSKS Mig 29 had less crashes then your drones pr targets AKA F16

  • Comment removed

  • What's that you say?

  • It has been proven in many airshows that Russia has the best ejection seats in the world.

  • @atom2009 They need it.

  • @atom2009 now those standards are taken over by other countries, they were so good

  • @atom2009 many many air shows

  • @atom2009 how? I'm not here to argue.

  • He was doing a low-speed high-alpha pass and was probably doing the lowest airspeed possible, that's why his plane lost maneuvrability shortly after swallowin a bird and immidiately going below the "minimum speed"

  • @moredinero search "Compressor stall" in wikipedia

  • @moredinero Yes, the plane was below the minimum speed. However, this min.speed depends on whether both or just one engine is working properly. The plane was already below the min speed for one engine mode. The efficiency of ailerons and rudders was not sufficient to counter the torque of the asymmetric thrust. Some critics (e.g., the late V.Menitskiy) said that the plane could be saved even at this altitude if Kvochur dropped the nose immediately after the engine stall to gain a bit of speed.

  • @miamad better than yours 

  • without this explosion blast, the parachute wouldnt filled up to brake him down...

  • That chute barely had time to open!

    The pilot is a lucky boy.

  • nice bird. Shit happens. Flamers will use this as an argument against mikoyan but shit seriously happens. Glad he was safe.

  • crash happens often for many reasons. for example, birdies gets into engine, mechanical failure, pilot error etc.

    they are very lucky, no civilians or pilot got injured.

  • Yrs,the pilot is ok the blast wave saved his life bcs the b wave filed the chute w air and cutioned the pilots landing

  • oooooooooooooooooooooooooohhhh­hhhhh

    ty kokooot to co tobola rana ani padak sa mu nestihol otvorit,,,,

  • pilot died?

  • No, 1.05 - pilot, Anatoliy Kvochur.

  • no, he is safe

  • I got a videotape of this. I played it image by image (24 images/sec). Kvochur's parachute completely opened at the 23rd of the 24 images of the last second !... Probably 1 or 2 feet above the ground... He is a REALLY lucky man !...

  • piece of junk i hate mig 29 but i like su 27

  • its actually a very good fighter.....the crash that you saw here was a result of a bird hit, which can cripple any aircraft. however, the ejection seat made headlines because even the west did not have a seat the deployed at such low altitude.

  • @dustbite01 THey did indeed!

  • @dustbite01 A "very good fighter" for air shows but has not yet lived up to this hype in actual combat.

  • @dustbite01 Well thats a bunch of crud. I've seen in-cockpit and spectator footage of a USAF F-16 "Thunderbird" Pilot ejecting at 140 feet at an airshow 8 tenths of a second before impact. September 14, 2003 Idaho.

  • @Olliebucknollie Nice!

    An opposing view and FACTS to back it up.

    How Refreshing !

  • @dustbite01 The west has zero/zero seats just like the soviets. No better, no worse. It's just that normally, when people are punching out so close to the edge of the seats envelope, their on the other side. Check out the video of the CF/A-18 crashing earlier this year in Canada. Looks like that guy was even lower, but the pilot ejected sooner. This video shows how quickly the margins can disappear as a result of vertical speed.

  • Dramatic..

  • i heard a bird got into the engine intake

  • minimum height for parachute is around 200 ft i think

  • how can pilot survive ?? his parachute didnt opened and he fall like 150 m.i think he dead..

  • yes he is survive, the blast wave save him.

  • the..blast..made..parashute..o­pene..at.last..second

  • The pilot survived, it's him on 1:09.

  • we are still in cold war ?

  • This is both luck and balls the size of cathedrals to fly the stalled plane up to the last possible moment out of harm's way. Whoever the pilot is, congratulations mate, well done!!

  • did the pilot survive??

  • Yes this guy coment in the same video clip

  • Yes, it has survived thanks to plane explosion because the blast wave has filled a parachute dome therefore has softened its falling

  • Kvochur was rushed to hospital, but was released the same day with nothing worse than bruises and a cut above his right eyebrow from the oxygen mask. Indeed he had been extremely lucky as he had ejected oustide the seat's operating envelope, not to mention the proximity of the fireballs and the falling ejection seat.

  • Comment removed

  • omg is the guy ok

  • Yes

  • The pilot proved to be extremly competent to make sure he doesnt crash in people before ejecting. Good thing he made it out without any harm. I thought he didnt make it when I saw the video.

  • He did not have time to show his competence as it engine stalled right after the take off. He crashed right on the runaway and had 2 seconds to eject.

  • rtjtjt

  • how could you speak russian in english? How could they be so rude as to not speak russian in english? They do that just so you can't understand it. Its a communist conspiracy, of course.

  • I was there! Working at the Air Show. Remember it well. You see all these planes close up on the static and they look invincible, then they just crumple up like paper in a crash, freaky.

  • it says due to explosion his free fall (notice it was same as the speed of plane's falling) slows down to 12 meters/second, which is similar to falling down from 3rd floor of a building. I read his interview about this fall. epic. google "Anatoly Kvochur - Perfection is his credo".

  • holly shit they say that hot air and the explosion wave from the plane opens the parachute and slows down the pilot right before the impact so he lives to tell the story (the guy in the interview)

  • That Russian pilot's got GUTS.

  • We can all see the pilot during the video. Yes, he is alive. Mig-29 is a beautiful machine even if so old now. I remember watching this video back in the days when I was a kid

  • demote to ukrainian airforce this guy for this stuff

  • lol kamikazes

  • He ejected obviously! Also read the description! Idiots...

  • read the description tell me if any other plane would take multiple birdstrikes to the engine and survive. F-16 would catch fire or fall apart several seconds earlier.

  • I knew this incident back at that time. After that,many wars occurred and the mig29 performed badly. Now, many of mig29s have airframe corrosion while many F-4Es still serve well with modern avionics.

  • @xxwzaebd f16 reliable, are you serius?

  • much morereliable than mig 29 since it was not shot down. mig 29 always shot down in 1991,1992 etc.

  • did you see the parachute he barely had time to punch out!

  • I can not believe that the pilot was not hurt or even killed...

    Lucky day!

  • Something similar happened on Batajnica-LYBT today. Unfortunately pilot did not survive.

  • da li postoji video iz Batajnice?

  • I da postoji, cisto sumnjam da ce da bude obelodanjen uskoro jer je verovatno u posedu "organa" koji istrazuju nesrecu. Iskreno i ja bih voleo da vidim to ako ima.

  • god save him

  • These Russians!

  • q joios los rusos siempre la lian jajajaj

  • is the pilot ok?

  • he is i guess

  • Yes he is. AFAR he didn't suffer any injures

  • Pilot is Ok. He also gives interview in this clip (1:06)

  • But I think this one crashed due to a bird being blown through one of the turbines

  • Yeh at 1:41 you can see the engine give up and then his roll starts

  • russians never maintain thier planes well

  • 5/5 to Anatoliy Kvochur

  • migs are amazing planes

  • whats going on ??????

  • well it was that or ride the plane into the ground...

  • This guy is a legend. one of the best pilot of modern time.

  • True.

  • Comment removed

  • Read the description.....minor bruising, he did not die.

  • The shortest parachute jump ever... Difficult to make shortier...

  • Also, the fireball never even came close to his chute. Pay close attention starting at 0:37 into the video. You'll see his chute collapsing on the field well clear of the fireball, which would have torched him if his chute had really been inflated by it. He hit the ground VERY hard and he's just plain damn lucky to have survived.

  • Man who give interview - is PILOT of that plane (Anatoliy Kvochur). He survive because explosion fill up his parachute.
