Russian jet crashes trying to land on aircraft carrier used for Syria airstrikes
2016-11-15
[RUDAW.NET] A Russian fighter jet crashed in the Mediterranean Sea Monday as it tried to land on the aircraft carrier that Moscow is using to carry out air raids in Syria.

The pilot of the MIG-29K ejected safely but his jet went down due to a "technical fault," Russia’s Sputnik news agency reported.

The jet was attempting to land after an exercise flight from the Admiral Kuznetsov, an aircraft carrier sent to the Mediterranean to back Russian bombardments in Syria in support of the regime of Hereditary President-for-Life Bashir Pencilneck al-Assad
Oppressor of the Syrians and the Lebs...
"An aviation accident with carrier-based fighter MIG-29K occurred during exercise flights as a result of a technical fault during the approach landing a few kilometers from the Admiral Kuznetsov aircraft-carrying cruiser," Sputnik reported.

The MiG-29K is Russia's new carrier-based fighter jet designed for destroying surface and ground targets.
