According to him, one of the reasons for the fall of the su-33 could could be pilot error. Coming in to land at high speed and at an angle, the pilot could “break the alignment”, he suggested. In this regard, the plane was able to hook the cable hook-hook in the wrong place and thereby create an excessive burden, he explained.
The interlocutor of the Agency noted that the pilot after breakage of the cable are instructed to turn on the afterburners and urgently to take off. In his opinion, possibly, the pilot did not, because the fighter wasn’t room to maneuver.
