I’m going to go out on a limb here and call the 21G’s happened when the Escape System pulled the Soyuz Capsule off and away from the rest of the Launch Vehicle that was lumbering along at a mear 4,970 MPH because to escape from the about to go BOOM part !!! you have to make NO BOOMY part go way faster than the about to go BOOMY part.

In total Soyuz rockets have been launched 745 times of which 21 have failed. Thirteen of those failures have been since 2010, calling into question the continued reliability of the rocket.

21 out of 745 is 2.82% failure rate, I guess that’s not to bad...sort of.

34 launches since 2010-Present with 13 failures, that’s 38.23% failure rate, Hmmmm Confucius say He no ‘rickey lecent flailure ‘late, NO RIDE Russian go BOOMYUZ FIRE CRACKER

Almost forgot- I’ll go with the 9G’s was encountered during the actual Capsule Reentry.

Fighter Pilots these days can pull 7-9G’s fairy often since They have GSuits.

IIRC F-16 computers are still programmed to limit maneuvers to 9G to keep the pilots from blacking out due to GLOC (G-induced Loss Of Consciousness). A transient 21G load from the escape system firing is survivable.

LOLO!!!

Were any extra small holes found drilled into the Soyuz ??
