A Royal Saudi Air Force (RSAF) Panavia Tornado IDS strike aircraft crashed on 15 November, according to local media reports.

The reports stated that the two-seat aircraft came down during a training mission in the desert along the Riyadh-Dammam Expressway in the country's eastern province. The crew is said to have ejected safely.

The cause of the crash is not yet known but early indications are that it was caused by a mechanical malfunction. The RSAF is investigating.

If it was a bird strike, how did the aircraft continue to gain altitude. Also note how the engines smoke trail is visible even after the ejection.

Not trying to be a jerk, but are you sure it was a bird strike?

Yeah it was a bird strike, a crow went into the intake of the aircraft while it was taking off. I don't see it gaining altitude, the pilot ejected, at the time the aircraft seems to be going into a stall, but it took a turn and went down into the ground. You can see the wing man behind it taking a drastic left turn and gaining altitude.

It happened on a Pakistani Airbase.

it isnt gaining altitude.

The F-7 had barely left the ground before it suffered a bird strike, you can see the wheels haven't even retracted.
This is what happens at altitude.

Thanks.

If you look at 17-19 second frame of the video it does indeed appear the aircraft is gaining altitude, but i suppose that could have been caused by the aircrafts energy rather than thrust.

Anyways thanks again.

Air force helicopter crashes in Sri Lanka


Colombo, Nov 27 (DPA) A Russian built Mi-24 Sri Lankan Air Force helicopter Friday crashed in southeastern region of the island-country after an air display to mark the start of construction work of a new international airport, an Air Force spokesman said.

The fate of the pilot and the two other people on board remained unclear as the helicopter crashed into a jungle, the spokesman said, adding that the accident was caused by a technical fault.


The crash occurred in Badalkumbura, 310 km south-east of Colombo.

Just for further information, plz watch the video of a bird strike of a F-16, just see for how long it keeps flying, the pilot does his best to restart the engine or get the aircraft down, as you said there was still thrust in the engine and the aircraft was already in motion, aerodynamics were in action due to which it seems it is gaining attitude, plus the aircraft was taking off, it was gaining attitude when it was struck, so the upward motion would be there for a few secs before it took a nose dive.

So Sukhois have started to go down.

Good to hear that pilots remained safe.
