Russian Aviator Exposes Method for Disabling SU-25 Aircraft
A Tale of Unlucky Fates: The Su-25 and the Perils of Pair Operations
In the heat of battle, friendly fire incidents can turn the tides, leaving silence where once there was victory. A prime example? The latest Russian Su-25, allegedly downed by its own side in Ukraine.
Flight instructor and military expert, Roman Svitan, shed some light on the situation. "24 Channel" got the scoop on the Su-25's predilection for operating in pairs. According to Svitan, these aircraft choose low altitudes, sneaking under cover of hills before unleashing their rocket barrage. Keeping to the shadows, they return at the same low profile.
But, unlucky luck struck on this occasion. Svitan offers a likely explanation: a rocket with malfunctioning stabilizers. These unguided missiles can strafe off course, leading to the unfortunate incident. "Friday the 13th" certainly hasn't played in the pilot's favor, as he now lies injured, wondering what grim fate led to his unwelcome addition to the statistic.
Aircraft pilots often swear off flying on Friday the 13th, fearing misfortune. The idiom "something bad will happen" might soon come to define this pilot's life.
So, will this pilot soar again?
Svitan explains that the pilot's chances of returning to service depend on a medical review, considering the circumstances of his ejection. If he managed to group himself before jumping and his ejection was smooth, there's a small chance he might suit up for another flight. However, in this tense situation, it seems unlikely he prepared himself. The severe impact from the exit, "scattering the spine," indicative of a bone-jarring ejection mars the likelihood of his recovery. What's more, the pilot's broken arm is not exactly a feather in his Superman suit.

Friendly fire incidents, while unfortunate, aren't unheard of. Identification, communication, equipment malfunctions, and proximity can all lead to these tragic misunderstandings. Preventive measures? Strong communication channels, clear identification systems, proximity awareness, regular training, diligent technical maintenance, and thorough post-incident assessments all aim to minimize these tragedies. But at the end of the day, even the best plans can go awry, and battlefields are a stark reminder that danger is never far away.
- The incident involving the Russian Su-25 in Ukraine raises questions about the dangers of pair operations in various industries, such as finance, transportation, and even aviation.
- In light of the Su-25 incident, it's worth noting that war-and-conflicts and politics often necessitate close cooperation, increasing the risk of friendly fire incidents.
- General news outlets should cover such incidents to bring attention to the need for improved safety measures in military operations and other high-risk industries.
- As the investigation into the Su-25 incident continues, it's essential to learn from such events to prevent future tragedies, whether in war-and-conflicts or general operations.
