That sounds like Top Gun. But I am looking forward to how SU30MKI could have such error. Normally dumb bombs get armed after x seconds when they really are released. This sounds like a Russian bomb going against all logic. Does someone know how these Russian bombs function? I have not see any safety systems nor have a clue.
I read it but strange part of GSM using to call wife first. After such an accident most people would have been filled with adrenaline and just sit and wait.
If a plane like F-22 Raptor could have serious errors with critical systems like OBOGS, this is not all that surprising.
Freak accidents happen for all planes, if it's a manufacturing or design fault, it will be rectified. For example the German
Eurofighters were recently found to have faulty holes drilled in the airframe which can lead to safety issues after the
airframe begins to get old.
