Did old piston engined prop planes have as bad a time as delicate jet engines do with birdstrikes?

Only when hitting a flying pterodactyl.

it wasn't

India is stronger than Russia, India does not have failures like this. India is correct to get out of that PAK-FA boondongle and should make a better 5th gen aircraft by themselves.

Had a friend flying a light twin. Bird went right into the nose. Blood was seeping out of his instrument panel. Ruined his intercom and his com 1 radio.

Seriously

>Single-engine Joo F-35 eats a bird, is able to RTB
>Twin-engine Flanker eats one, kills both pilots

At the core of it the two countries are extremely similar in terms of how things are structured and run.

Should have bought Chinese

Pilots dies because they tried to save the aircraft and didn't eject, not because of the bird itself.

Bird strike.

Sweet another thread to annoy vatniks!

it all depends where the borb hits

Yeah, that's the Russian airforce alright.

The C-130 was being flown to a boneyard to be scrapped by ricans. This was a front line fighter in a combat zone. Do you understand the difference?

Single engine jets are more reliable. Sorry twin engine retards.

Could i have a source for it, might be useful for future use since you know, vatniks never stop reheating old shit.

Source for what? The C-130?

popularmechanics.com/military/aviation/a20125464/c-130-crash-savanna-georgia/

60 years old and on it's way to the boneyard.

>India does not have failures like this
Probably because their aircraft never leave the drawing board.

That may or may not be relevant depending on what caused the accident.

Thanks, man.

>delicate jet engines
>compared to wooden props
You're not going to like a bird strike either way. Only reason props have a better chance, if their engine(s) gets taken out, is because they don't need engine-driven hydraulics for their flight controls.

7/10 damage control, Pavel

That's..... Kind of depressing.

Those IDF bird drones are pretty effective eh?

Man for man, russians are some of the worst pilots on the planet.

>Pilots dies because they tried to save the aircraft and didn't eject
So, bad pilot training or shit command that values aircraft over pilots?

There should be a clear decision altitude about ejecting. So you don't kill yourself in situations like these when you think you might be able to save it.
