A fighter jet crashed in Spain. The network publishes footage of the crash of this aircraft near the industrial zone.
We are talking about the F-18 fighter (F / A-18), which at high speed approached the surface at an angle of at least 60 degrees.
A few dozen meters before the collision with the ground, the pilot ejected. At the moment, his condition is not reported. The fall occurred in the area of the military base in Zaragoza.
The plane, colliding with the surface, exploded. Moreover, after the explosion, an impressive cloud of fire and smoke appeared. This suggests that the plane had significant amounts of fuel in the tanks at the time of the crash. It is also possible that he carried some weapons on board.
Emergency services gathered at the crash site of the fighter. Witnesses are being interviewed. The search for F/A-18 flight recorders is underway. Whether there are any victims on the ground, it is also not reported yet.
A similar plane crashed near Madrid in the fall of 2017. Then the pilot died.
