Ejection during preflight checks is unusual, and the fact that they mention three when it is a four seat aircraft...

I thought pilots and submariners have strict physicals, so always was a bit puzzled.flamming_python wrote:gbu48098 wrote:Not sure if this is the right thread but curious why are the Russian pilots fat and generally stocky build?
Because they're older. It takes years to train such specialists and years more to gain experience
Young pilots are just as slim as everyone else.

At the time Russia had the MiG-15 they typically chose pilots with a stocky build because it is easier for the blood to reach the brain from the heart if you are shorter, this makes them more resistant to blackouts, and at the time you needed a lot of physical strength to handle the controls. Today with pressure suits that is not a problem anymore.

They are working for months/years to adapt Hmeimim for tupolevs and mig-31k with kinzhal is a logical deployement to control mediteranean sea.
The UK agression happened in the same time. Just a coincidence.
