It is indeed.
I just finished reading a book about Francis Gary Powers and the U2. (May Day).
There was a whole chapter about those ejector seats.

.... I dunno ....... That Rumble video sure looks fake ..... Looks like the jets were traveling at the harrowing speed of about 2 mph then then upon collision the two planes appear to dance a waltz with each other while floating in mid air for a few seconds, all crew members eject at exactly the same moment then the fighter jets float gracefully to the ground like floating leaves.

It’s real, just google it and you’ll see every news outlet reporting it.

"It’s real, just google it and you’ll see every news outlet reporting it"...... Yes I saw that ..... However, to me, It still does look fake ..... Minimal air speed to keep those jets in the air is around 140 knots ...... You would think the inertia of coliding at that speed would have torn those planes apart upon impact ..... Those planes are coliding like slow moving kites hitting each other. Of course it could also be a miracle that took place, but it still does look fake to me. But then again, that could be what a miracle would look like ......

Don’t those guys know that’s how eagles make babies, not for getting new fighter jets?

Now that’s a “Near Miss”.
“Look, they almost missed!”
“Yeah, but not quite!”

Google and every news outlet *but mostly the left-leaning media), all reported the Russia/Russia/Russia scandal as fact, before investigations. So, trusting Google and the left-wing media can be damaging to the truth and your mental health.
That's not to say that the mid-air crash is not a fact, even if also reported by Google and the left-wing media. Some things can't be lied about, especially if it's not a political matter.

Ok. It just looked AI from the rumble video since the quality wasn’t as good as the news links. And obviously the news story helped. Maybe you should have posted a story with it.
