Telegraph, 24 Oct 2022
Dramatic footage shows a Russian pilot ejecting from fighter jet hit by Ukrainian missile while flying low.

Head cam footage shows the pilot ejecting from a Su-25SM that was hit by Ukrainian surface-to-air missile while flying at a low altitude in an unknown location in Ukraine.

The incident reportedly happened back in the summer but was shared by Russia’s defence ministry on Monday.

The Su-25 Grach is a subsonic, single-seat, twin-engine jet aircraft developed by Sukhoi.
