Incredible footage has emerged of a Russian pilot flying a state-of-the-art fighter jet without a roof canopy.
The jet, known by NATO as the ‘Felon’, can carry advanced Kinzhal hypersonic nuclear-capable missiles. It features a plexiglass canopy covering the cockpit which – inexplicably – is clearly missing in the footage. It’s believed to have been removed as part of testing for emergency procedures should the aircraft run into trouble before a successful ejection. The pilot is wearing a special suit as protection against the freezing temperatures. And, presumably, a very secure helmet.The Su-57 is Russia’s first stealth fighter and is planned to be operational for the next 35 years
I bet his underpants were full after. 😱
Aerodynamically it would be hard to reach that speed without ripping the cockpit out
