Yak-38U Forger incident during shipboard short take-off trials. The main engine nozzles didn't rotated to take-off angel during the take-off run. It was automatic flight-control system failure. Pilots were ejected successfully from the water. First pilot landed at sea and was rescued, second pilot landed hardly on the deck. Both pilots survived.

  • How INCREDIBLE luck was needed to eject the pilot right back to the ship. I'm impressed! O_o

  • And this is why you don't put more than one engine in a V/STOL plane. One goes out, you're screwed. Glad the pilots managed to make it out.

  • What a hell of a way to get back on board a ship. The Russians are pretty smart.

  • Lucky pilots. Nice vid.
