Hey Frog, do you know how many crew were onboard the jets? Finding 3 alive is great news. Hope the injuries aren't serious, and that there aren't any other casualties.

There were two pilots and one passenger, so all three survived.

Glad all three are safe!

Good news.

Updates when available on injuries please.

 

[Frog]

Two apparently slightly injured, one polytraumatized taken care of by the military health service.

 

[MiTasol]

Hmm - not so good.

I would suspect the pax is the injured party as crew are trained in how to position themselves before starting the ejection sequence so as to minimise injury.

Note I am assuming they ejected because suddenly my computer will not play videos.

It's not you, I can't view the video either. (ETA: Once I enabled Google Translate to English, the video played.)

I'm glad all three aircrew survived.
