MOSCOW: Two Russian fighter jets collided in midair in the Far East of the country Friday, the Defense Ministry said. The Su-34 jets were on training flights when they came into contact about 35km from the shore in the Sea of Japan, the Russian military said. Several hours later, one pilot was located on an inflatable raft in the sea. A second pilot was found on a raft in the sea later and was also airlifted. The military said the fighter jets were not carrying missiles.
