Russians confirm fighter jet crashed in Mediterranean
Russia’s defense ministry confirms reports that a MiG-29K fighter crashed while attempting to land back on the Admiral Kuznetsov aircraft carrier in the Mediterranean off Syria, and the pilot has survived.
In a statement to Russian news agencies, the ministry says the fighter jet crashed due to a “technical fault,” a few kilometers from the carrier, but the pilot ejected and was recovered and taken aboard the ship.
