Iranian F4 Fighter Crashed, 2 Pilots Killed

May their souls rest in peace.

Why couldn't they eject?

You can still eject close to the ground (during take-off and landings) however most pilot reactions are to save the plane or make sure the jet does not crash in an area that would cause ground casualties (looking for a soft spot to crash).

Did the aircraft explode in the air?

That hardly ever happens for an aircraft to explode especially fighters/bombers from malfunctions unless you got serious fuel leaks with an ignition source.....even then it would be on fire and not explode. A catastrophic engine failure will not grenade the whole aircraft either.

I can only think of four primary ways that would cause such a crash.
Engine/s failure
Flight controls failure
Weight and balance
On runway or after T/O collision with another object. (a deer or a goose can FTSU badly)

Either way I am positive that the crew tried everything they could to save the jet and/or "stay with it" and find that soft spot with whatever amount of control they may have.

Rest In Peace Aviators.
 
It hurts when the Air Force losts its plane in a crash, but it even hurts more when you losts the pilots in the same crash.

RIP to those guys serving the people of their country.

Bro, incidents can happen with even the best of the aircraft.

Besides, tragic news. May Allah Almighty grant patience to the families of the deceased and ease their pain.
 
:frown:RIP...
:tsk:Why?
:police: I reviewed all comments ...mostly blamed that F-4 are too old. That is not the case, even when they were new, we had similar crashes of F-4 around the World.
