The fighter pilot was killed. The causes of the crash have not yet been announced, and a commission from the Russian Air Force Command has been sent to the scene.

BulgarianMilitary.com reminds you that at the end of 2019 the MiG-29M crashed again, but this time of the Egyptian Air Force. Then the pilot managed to eject.

Egyptian media claimed that the crash happened again after a training flight. Russia has said that the probable cause of the crash could be technical malfunctions in the integrated control system for the actions of a fighter or pilot.

MiG-29 fighter, but this time the Bulgarian Air Force crashed in early June during a night exercise. Biological remains were found in the Black Sea, which was the reason for the Bulgarian state to declare the pilot dead. The fighter crashed into the waters of the Black Sea. The Bulgarian authorities managed to find the black box, but for the second month, they do not know what to do with it.
