- The media reported on the collision of Korean F-15K fighter jets due to the pilots' selfies
A South Korean Air Force pilot who decided to take a keepsake photo during the flight collided with another fighter jet, causing serious damage to both planes. This was reported by the Korea Herald newspaper on April 23.
"According to the Audit and Inspection Council of the Republic of Korea, the pilot, who was an Air Force major at the time, filmed himself inside the cockpit in December 2021 during a flight as a souvenir before being transferred to another location," the material says.
According to the newspaper, the collision of two F-15 fighter jets occurred after one of the pilots unexpectedly changed course, trying to take a spectacular picture.
Both planes managed to land, but as a result of the incident, they suffered significant damage, which cost about 100 billion won (approximately $ 67.5 million) to repair.
