Both seats going sounds like a malfunction.

Do they still get 69 virgins or just a bunch of demons laughing at them?

Strange that I have seen this same story numerous times today all by different news agencies... but early this morning, Amir Tsarfati posted this on his telegram account about 2 Iranian pilots dying and I have not heard anything about it anywhere...

That'll teach them not to order their weaponry from the Acme Corporation.

In the pretitle sequence, Agent 007 (Pierce Brosnan) escapes from Afghanistan in a Russian fighter jet, stolen from arms dealers...The fighter was carrying a nuclear bomb...Agent 007 paid a visit to an armed sales meeting in Afghanistan...

There was a pilot behind Bond...He tries to strangle Agent 007 with a rope...Bond deals with that problem by pushing an ejector button for the back seat...The bad guy is ejected from the plane...He hits another Russian plane above...That plane blows up...Bond's plane was being chased by another Russian plane...

This story reminded me of that sequence...

Stuff like this is the main reason Iranian pilots are generally not defectors, and when they do manage to get out, no one is interested in giving them asylum.

The Iranian people I have met here consider themselves Zoroastrians and ***HATE*** the muslims.

They do NOT like being identified as muslim.

The people are OK. It’s the leadership that’s the issue. Got that from some friends who were doing missions work in a muslim country that have many Iranian refugees in it.

Lots of X-pat Iranians, do not consider themselves as Iranians. They are Persian. They see a distinction.

There are a lot of “accidents” happening to Iran.

I don’t jump to conclusions, but the mullahs are not smart.

Everything You Need to Know About Ejecting From a Fighter Jet

https://www.popularmechanics.com/military/aviation/a26193/how-pilots-eject-from-fighter-jet/

In newer two-seat jets, the ejection seats are synchronized so activating one triggers the other.
