    As a bonus, whoever was close enough to shoot you down is about to get at least one heavy steel javelin flung terrifyingly close to their direction at high speeds.

    I’m assuming here that impact with a long range SAM is probably something you’re not about to eject from.

      In cases like that I’d imagine you’d try and eject prior to being hit, though I don’t know enough to know how much warning time there is.

        not much, considering how many of Ka-52s were shot down without pilots ejecting
