Russian Sukhoi Su-35 Pilot Ejects For A Hollywood Movie At Mach 2

Holy frak. Holy frak. HOLYROLLERBLADDINGFRAK! Movie producers paid two Sukhoi Su-35 pilots to fly without a canopy at Mach 2.0, and have one of them eject in what probably is one of the most dangerous stunts ever filmed:

While on this speed I even managed to pull out my fingers in glove for an inch or two outside – it became heated very fast because of immense friction force plane undergoes with the air.

That’s what the pilot who remained in the cabin says he did after his crazy comrade ejected, landing safely into the ground. I don’t know what this movie is, but I definitely want to see it.

To add even more awesome details, the actual aeroplane is the SU-35UB prototype identified by its tail number 801. This is the most advanced Sukhoi fighter ever built. [The Dew Line]
