- In 1989, F-15 Eagles Caught a Pilotless Russian MiG-23.
On July 4th, 1989, a MiG-23 Flogger over Poland suffered engine problems and began to descend, so the pilot ejected. However, the engine didn’t stop, so the jet stayed airborne, flying on autopilot. When it crossed into West Germany, two F-15 Eagles in the Netherlands quickly took off to intercept it. The GCI told them the F-15s to escort it to Laarbruch Air Base near Dutch Border when they intercepted it. However, the F15 pilots soon discovered that there was no pilot, no ejection seat, or canopy there. It was a pilotless MiG-23. Soon, the low-fuel MiG crashed in Belgium. The MiG-23 pilot on founding this publicly expressed deep sorrow a day after the crash.
Crash killed a teenager in his home. Bro unknowingly did orbital strike on some poor kid when he ejected.
That's Some Donnie Darko Shit.😮
The kid wasn't feeling well that day and decided to stay home.
Entirely two lives were lost that day the child, and after court martial the piolet.
I'm not even aviator, but sure you point that scrap to safe point to crash it a and least left engine idle.
Does today's fighter's (Western standard) shut system's and motor when single cabinet pilot ejected? Or could it used like "missile"?
One politic or some other "big guy" got change to get in seat of f16 and ejected he's seat and pilot just commented "he just ejected" after few minutes of flying. I think guy was so scared that red handle was used wrong purpose.. It happened in Germany I believe.
It could be case where pilot pulled lightly negative G's. Doctor was given only zero negative and some six max positive limits to passenger. But no one got harmed really in that maneuver.
There's switch box at front cabinet where could be chosen how ejecting works and that time when this happened, it was set the way that only guy who pulls, goes. And if pilot pulls, both goes with some 0.5 second different.
So they didn't lost the plane..
I remember that ATC commented it like that happens there everyday.
You can not conduct orbital strikes on targets that are indoors
You forgot to mention that a civilian on the ground was killed in the crash

I inexplicably cannot comment--only respond to others’ posts. Could you please pass my message to those responding to this channel, please?
Several decades ago, in the central USA, a similar event occurred to a Convair F-106 USAF Delta Dart delta-winged interceptor. After the pilot had ejected, the aircraft, also on autopilot, somehow re-balanced, to resume normal flight; evidently, the reduction in weight of nearly 300 kg (round 600 lbs.) managed to reset the faulty flight sub-system, and the fighter resumed its way, albeit unmanned, till it ran out of fuel. It soft-landed in some farmer’s snowy wheat field in Kansas or Nebraska, where the Air Force had a team with a crane, a flatbed or a lowboy, etc., retrieve it. They had the manufacturer repair it, where they eventually returned it to service.
@@DavidRLentz-b7i pretty cool, atleast it didnt kill anyone
@@duck4484 exactly!
@@duck4484 one person was killed who was asleep in the house. I am from Belgium and remember the incident.
I remember that. The plane crashed on a farm about 60km from where i lived at that time. In the farm, a young man died after he had been celebrating finishing his studies the night before.
Pilot: I am out you are not cooperating.
Mig: don't worry mate I can land on the other side of Europe myself.
WW2 a B17 crash landed in a field on autopilot.
I am currently 5 km from the airport from which this plane took off, still with the pilot on board. This airport is called Bagicz and is located in Poland in the West Pomeranian Voivodeship, near the town of Kołobrzeg.
Greetings from the neighborhood. I live about 30 kilometers from this place..
That mig was like: I got the freedom to do whatever the fuck I want.
Yes then it got a versicolore flag 🏳️🌈...
*Mig* "They see me flyin... they hatin'...."
Seems like the engine was working just fine....
The Netherlands never owned F15's, only F16's.....
American jets ,they have a base there
Waren Amerikanen.
American F15's likely stationed at the former Soesterberg airbase.
In those days, US F15's were stationed in the Netherlands.
Boli to americké lietadlá na holandskej základni.
We had 187 F16's in the Netherlands
But never f15's😂
Ik bedacht me hetzelfde 😂😂 Wat een bullshit verhaal. Toch kijken we 😉
Amerikanen die daar gestationeerd waren?soms waren hier F14's voor een tijd
@@someguy872 nog steeds geen f15's😬
Wolfhounds GO!!
@@someguy872Wellicht, maar die zullen nooit dit soort missies uitgevoerd hebben.
Not Russian Mig. It was Soviet Mig.
And ur was armed with tomatoes and tomato’s
Without difference!
@@domozs4370 It is big difference.
It took of from Poland, Soviet air base near Kołobrzeg. The pilot killed him self due to his depression cause of this accident.
Unnecessary ejecting . The stupid pilot could save and land the plane .
So the pilot ejected above Poland because of engine problems but next the plane flew on autopilot from Poland over Germany over the Netherlands and then crashed in Belgium.... Sounds like that engine wasnt really causing a problem and it crashed because it was low on fuel. Maybe the pilot tried to escape the Soviet-Union with this story?
If the engine problem was so bad that the pilot had to eject, how the Hell did the plane manage to fly all the Way to the Netherlands?
Sooo, the plane had engine problems and began to descend but after the pilot ejected, the plane had a change of heart and stopped descending and cruse until it used up fuel? 🙄
When a lady leaves a vehicle, vehicle increases speed...
The plane decided to become a tourist and cruise the skies.
I remember this, a boy died that day while sleeping.
Soesterberg AB from Holland scrambled
rn theres a military museum on the former airbase. i was there a few weeks ago!
Autonomous flight existed back then
Orville and Wilbur wright invented flight and cruise
From Poland to Belgium is about 700 km so basically it flew across all of Germany and nothing happened
Now I understand why it's so hard for them to believe in aliens from another planet when a MiG flying is apparently unbelievable
This doesn't make sence. Engine failure, pilot/idiot ejected, and the plane continued flying more than 1500 km‼️ @35000ft‼️
So what was the failure ⁉️, the pilot maybe❓️
Teh story is real. We were aware of it in comunist Romania that time!
More like the pilot lost directional control and decided to eject over Poland than get shot down by a W.German missile.
Engine failure was probably cover story from russians. Most likely russians tested, how western air forces would react to direct fly over.
THE ancestor of the modern UAV
it was a classic soviet test of the western European military alarm systems
it happened in 2022 too, a Russian drone flew across Hungary, ended in Croatia. Test.
Was there more instenses then those 2? Then it really could be a test.
@@ComedyPowTest or not, NATO's intercept abilities were just as bad in 1989 as they are now.
And that is how europe defence itself. 20 times to confirm ???
Dutch airforce never had F-15 s
I remember this being based at Laarbruch at the time.
When it crashes in Belgium, it killed a teenager in his house !! Dark fate
BS! I'm Dutch. We never had an F15.
That's the fastest jet in the world, no i'm not talking about the the F-15
Took illegal immigrantion to a whole new level ...
If whole army would come, would they recognised? No ...😂😂
ATC: "Can you fly it until the West Germany?"
Pilot: "What??? Are you crazy? No I can not!"
MiG 23 Jet: "ATC, hold my pilot..."
Pilot: "Noooo..!!"
How do you know this stuff? Do you make a lot of this stuff up?
Autopilot in a fighter? Seriously?
JA!! ABER, IS DER PILOT FREI?????👁️ WENN JA, IST DAS GUT😁ZUR ZEIT!!!!!!🥩⚡️👅🖤🤍♥️😘
Should have sued the USSR for copying the F-111 Aarvark.
This is how country's air defense systems are tested. And measured when and who reacts and if at all. Some "silly" pilot gets confused/engine issue and flies over other country's teritorry... Fairytale
Reconnaissance mission. Intentional. Yes, yes we are sorry we flew into your airspace. No photos taken, not testing your defenses, just a runaway military aircraft.
He is probably still in a gulag
Nederland does not have F15.
Never said it belonged to the dutch
@@ploot5995There never were any F15's stationed in our country. This is a bullshit story mate!
@@dennisalex953 might wanna look up 32nd air operations squadron
@@dennisalex953 The story is real! Not necessarly about F15s/// maybe they were F16s
@@dennisalex953er zijn zeker wel F15's gestationeerd geweest op Soesterberg. Zoek maar eens op de 32nd Air operations Squadron.
What a joke, F-15s in the Netherlands, never happened, we only ever had F-16s who are now deployed in Ukraine
reaction time as the first dial up internet connection.
A soviet Mig flies over NATO Germany and no defense reaction?
Sounds like something out of the Transformers good job it wasn't on autopilot to attack as well😢😂😊
The Netherlands only had F16 and one man dead on the ground Russia sad sorry for the incidence
The pilot was promoted
so how can it be they put so much fuel in it they could deffect with the plane lol.
So the pilot could have landed the plane. He didnt trust Russian engineering and Tech. Nothing has changed
There is still east and west Germany?
Just in our brains. But the younger kids don't even know where the border was.
My Sigs say made in West Germany circa mid 90's. P226, P230. No you can't buy them.😅
This was 1989 before the wall fell
It reached Belgium but couldn't return?
L'avion s'est écrasé près de Kooigen, près de Courtrai, Flandre occidentale, dans l'ouest de la Belgique.
I noticed NATO countries fear Russia so bad, they even scared to shot down a mig with no pilots 😢
What the fuck else should they have done lmfao. Russia would be way more scared if they spotted a European/American jet come into their airspace
mmmm yes waste ammo and missiles for a plane thats not even posing a threat
Why would russia be scared? 😂 98% of nato countries don't pose a threat to them, especially the netherlands 😂😂😂 @@Dadqhnpak87j23i4za
@@johnvanderv.4219 bro the usa would capitulate russia in 1 week. Russias military is a fucking joke. Air force is old af with old missiles and shit radar. Ground troops are demoralised 60 year olds with a fucked AK, navy is fucking unexistant apart from 3 ships that cant move on their own anyway. Finland could most definitely alone occupy russian land without russia being able to take it back. Russia has no manufacturing industry. Leadership is yes men, corrupt or drunkards. So yes russia should be scared. Nato could wipe out russia in fucking days.
@@TheStepfordMan if the jet crashed in populated area?
What if it had bombs.
Im little confused, i don't believe that pilot would eject at 35k feet, unless it was 💯 necessary. More like ok engine problems not going to make it, then ill go down to 10k feet, then eject.
So did they give him a new one or?
Bullshit, Netherlands never owned F15
Netherlands no. But the US had a base at Soesterberg until 1994, where F15 were flown. Know your facts.
i think its the pilots last day because its soviet union
That jet was one of Russia ugliest fight jets ever
The Mig kept going 😂 makes you wonder about Russian technology and the need for pilots altogether 😆 wonder 🤔
Maybe it was intentionally
That story doesn't even make sense.
😂😂😂😂👎
Kinda look like it's an F111 instead of a Mig😂😂😂😂😂
Russia modded f111 blueprints that were stolen during the cold war era😊
@@REXDABI No relation between F111 and Mig 23... The only simillarity is the wings!
@@cosmincasuta486 THX FOR CLARIFYING, I was thinking about the SU-24
So, I guess there is a USAF base in the Netherlands.
😂😂 of course
You’ll be losing sleep now as result
There was a USAF base in Soesterberg with F-15s until 1994.
There’s hundreds of American military bases all other the world in lots of countries why is it a shock 🥴😅
They were testing Poland’s response for future use …. After Ukraine … they look many years in advance …
are you fucking kidding or you take drugs? it was in 80s...and this aircraft took off from soviet air base in north western part of Poland - Bagicz. In these times Poland and sovietunionwere in Warsaw pact.
😮😮😮😮😮😮 from Malaysia 🇲🇾🇲🇾🇲🇾🇲🇾🇲🇾
Flogger ?? 🤔🤔
Ghost jet plane
Wim Delaere RIP
Maroons
So they could not shoot down a steady flying jet without pilot ?😂😂😂😂😂😂 merican jets strike again , just like f22 and the balloon
HAHAHA ENGINE PROBLEMS BUT FLYING AROUND 2.000 +- km??? Are you fking kidding me? Wooorst chanel bro
Rip that boy 😢😢😢
Be factual or be quiet u sofa king we todd did
F35 be like
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1989_Belgium_MiG-23_crash *For Further details* There was US F-15 as American bases in Europe and Europe is America satellite state 😂😂😂😂
Let's see what happens today's Russia, when sanctions already cause working planes to be ripped parts for spare needs..
They dropping multiple passenger planes monthly already, but I haven't heard yet bad crashes where lot of people's have died.
Usually motor fails and they must some reason to make it land some random flat area, not to airfield even if they have some in reasonable distance.
It's random fun fact, only way to cross Fin-Rus border is using some Chinese company, book fly LHR-BEK..
And some trains randomly could carry some wood, but otherwise it's CLOSED in this point.
Should stay as it is until they stop fighting. War itself isn't primary reason for closing that border. Russians systematica and criminals had race who could push more unlegal hmm.. traveller's(?) here to living by our money's and too friendly system to people who were in dangerous situation, way or other. Now no one is allowed and everyone send back. Rally has slowed from thousands to day in few at month.
When winter comes, no one trying to cross northern part of border, for sure.
Were high on something?
😂😂😂
Ami go home
Bunch of bellony, in 89 there were no F15's stationed in the Netherlands , nore did the Dutch airforce were in posession of F15's......
USAF was based on Soesterberg in the Netherlands with F-15's and F-111's. Anything else?
@@bramakershoek6842 yeah, keep on dreamin’
@@bpet6990 look for 32 squadron, and you see for yourself, mister knowitall.
Is anyone else getting tired of the same overused ai voice? Lol
No !
This plane start from sea-side russian base in Poland.
All very unnecessary collateral, damage destroyed lives. Nothing gained sad story.
