Like the ad for a parachute: "Only used once. Small stain."Apparently. They can re-use the survival kits, maybe.
The TU-22M3 isn't skimpy either.The SA-5 missile is a big stick.....
I watched the video. Why did they pan the camera to the left before the plane went out of sight and hit the ground? A little suspect??
Did the crew eject? Looks like they would have had time. IVAN is a hard job.
We are not the only nation that benefits from Ukraine defending itself. But we foot the biggest part of the bill. Same old same old. But I suppose that’s another thread.
