VIDEO: Ukrainian Air Force releases incredible video of a MiG-29 in a passage "scratling" the ground

It is not clear what the purpose was, but in the ongoing war, Ukrainian pilots often fly low to avoid Russian radars and surface-to-air missiles.

A new video shared by the Ukrainian Air Force shows a MiG-29 jet fighter making an extremely low passage.

Over the weekend we posted on our Instagram profile an incredible video of the Ukrainian Air Force that shows a MiG-29 fighter making an incredibly low passage in the aviation field, very close to the ground, before climbing back to the sky.

The video of the low passage of the Soviet-era jet was posted on Thursday by the Ukrainian Air Force, but it is not clear when or where it was filmed. And the service did not inform why the jet was flying in this condition.

TAP TITLE BAR TO VIEW VIDEO ☝️

The publication of the video comes at a time when Ukrainian pilots have to fly low to avoid radar detection, to avoid surface-to-air missiles. Flying low therefore has its advantages, but it is risky.

The serious threat posed by surface-to-air missile batteries on both sides of the war - from the Russian S-300 and S-400 to the mixing of Soviet and Western Ukrainian systems - prevented either side from achieving air superiority. Both Russia and Ukraine are still putting aircraft in the air, but this often requires a different type of flight, keeping distance from enemy terrain.

And there are many examples of low flights, although usually not as low as the video posted by the Ukrainian Air Force.

TAP RELOAD TO VIEW VIDEO ☝️

"At very low altitudes, you can mask the terrain, making it difficult to detect radars or other systems," said Guy Snodgrass, a former U.S. naval aviator and TOPGUN instructor, about low flights in general. And, "if a system detects you, the launch window will be much narrower than at higher altitudes."

Flying low is not necessarily more difficult, but it requires certain skills, according to Snodgrass. "Flying lower is not necessarily more difficult, although it requires more tasks and requires more concentration. Most of the time is spent focusing on avoiding the terrain, which reduces the time available to perform higher order tasks, such as scanning radar, talking on the radio or navigating," he said.

At higher altitudes, pilots have more time to react and can more easily avoid involuntarily crashing their planes to the ground. "We always say: 'speed is life... altitude is life insurance,'" Snodgrass added. It's an exchange. Flying at lower altitudes makes it more difficult for the enemy to detect and attack the aircraft, but it also potentially puts the plane at greater risk of accident.

As for the MiG in the Ukrainian Air Force video, it doesn't seem that it could get lower.

Top Aces reaches 2,000 flight hours in providing ADAIR services for 5ª generation fighter pilots

Fernando Valduga By Fernando Valduga 12/04/2023 - 11:00am Military

Top Aces is celebrating the more than 2,000 flight hours and 1,500 sorties in the first year of Adversary Air advanced support (ADAIR) to 5ª Generation combat pilots at Eglin Air Bases, Florida and Luke, Arizona.

Reflecting on the success of the program, Top Aces recalls that it was an incredible year of "innovations" in the industry, with the first commercial fleet of F-16; the first contracted fighters that can be refueled in flight; and the first 4ª generation fighters with an open mission system that integrates active electronic scanning matrix radar (AESA), helmet-mounted signaling system (HMCS) and Link-16.

Top Aces states that it has raised the level of how USAF's 5ª generation pilots are training with the ADAIR contract, and expects with this many more years as part of the development of the combat leaders of the U.S. Armed Forces.

A private defense company, Top Aces provides opposing air support and training services to military organizations. The company operates a fleet of several fighters, including the F-16 Fighting Falcon.

The F-16 is a multifunctional fighter originally developed by General Dynamics (now Lockheed Martin) for the United States Air Force. Since then, it has been widely exported and used by many air forces around the world. Top Aces employs the F-16 in its role as an aggressor or adversary, simulating enemy aircraft to provide realistic training scenarios for military pilots.
