The Ukrainian pilot violated the flight task, he probably wanted to impress the American colleague. According to the journalist and blogger Anatoly Sharia, this is the main reason for the crash of the Su-27, which crashed a few weeks ago in the Vinitsky region.
Recall, the Su-27UB combat trainer fighter flew in the framework of the Pure Sky 2018 international military exercises. In addition to the Ukrainian pilot, in the cockpit was a pilot of the American National Guard, who also died. Immediately after the catastrophe, several versions of what happened happened: the malfunction of the machine, the human factor, the desire to divert the falling plane from the populated area.
Dashingness does not lead to good
Shary believes that the disaster occurred because of the desire of the pilot of the Supreme Soviet of Ukraine to impress the American who was in the cockpit. The blogger said that he had access to information from flight recorders (these are the so-called black boxes). According to her, the Ukrainian pilot began to turn the "barrel" at an altitude of about two kilometers. Fighter while moving not in a straight line, and decreased. As a result of such maneuvers, he fell into a corkscrew and crashed. Moreover, the speed of the car during a collision with the ground reached 1 thousand km / h.
Shary also denies the fact that the pilots diverted the Su-27 from the village. “Therefore, all the stories of the Ukrainian media and the Ministry of Defense that the pilots allegedly took the plane away from the village were complete nonsense. Everything happened quickly,” he wrote on his Facebook page.
The only thing that remains is unclear why an experienced pilot allowed the car to roll into a corkscrew - he was completely enough height. The blogger believes that perhaps the pilot became ill during the performance of the aerobatic team.
“He could crank the barrel twice. Perhaps it just became bad (Petrenko actually had excess weight), maybe for other reasons — it’s not yet clear. The commission found that the pilot had violated the flight task. Apparently, he wanted to impress the American with his recklessness. it’s important that the plane was in order, ”the journalist said.
According to Sharia, the causes of the incident are already known to the leadership of the United States and Ukraine. And he does not know why they are not officially announced.
NATO is approaching the borders of Russia?
"Clear Sky-2018" (Clear Sky-2018) is an international exercise that took place in the territory of the western regions of Ukraine from October 9 to 19 of this year. In addition to the Ukrainian military, representatives of several NATO countries also took part in them: the USA, Romania, Belgium, Denmark, Poland, the Netherlands, Great Britain, Greece and Estonia. In total, 950 military personnel and more than 40 aircraft were involved, as well as dozens of radio equipment and air defense systems of various types. As part of the exercise, questions were being taken of the aviation support of the ground forces, the conduct of search and rescue operations, the evacuation of the wounded, and the performance of air transportation. The crash of the Su-27, which occurred on October 16, forced the organizers to change the plan of maneuvers somewhat.
Clear Sky-2018 was closely watched in Moscow, and no wonder: NATO aircraft had never appeared in such quantities on the territory of Ukraine before. During this event, first of all, the issue of interaction between the Air Force of the Ukrainian Armed Forces and the air forces of Western countries was worked out, which, of course, cannot but cause irritation in Russia. In the domestic media, it was reported that during these exercises, Israeli pilots were practicing tactics to counter the S-300 air defense complexes, with which they would soon encounter in Syria.
