The American, who died in a plane crash in Ukraine, never flew the Su-27

The American pilot, who was at the helm of the Ukrainian Su-27, never controlled this fighter.

Specialists involved in the investigation of the crash involving the Ukrainian fighter Su-27, were able to establish that the American pilot Seth Nering, who died during the crash of the plane, despite his extensive experience, had never operated a Soviet Su-27 combat aircraft. According to experts, this is what became the main cause of the tragedy.

It is known that the American military pilot Seth Nering has 20 years of experience in operating combat aircraft. Prior to that, he managed to fly 224 hours on an F-15 fighter and 2050 hours on an F-16 fighter. Nevertheless, while at the helm of the Su-27, any wrong action of the American pilot could lead to the tragedy that occurred, in particular, experts do not exclude that the Ukrainian and American pilots performed different actions, and therefore, the control of the aircraft was seriously difficult.

On the other hand, experts pay attention to the fact that over the entire period of exploitation, which has been nearly three decades, Ukrainian Su-27 has never been repairedThat does not exclude the version of the technical malfunction.
