In 2021, two F-15K fighter jets from South Korea collided in the air due to pilots trying to take photos and videos. The incredible incident was recently revealed to the public, although it happened five years ago, according to information provided by MEDIAFAX and BBC.


The pilots managed to survive, however, the accident caused significant damage, estimated at approximately $600,000. A subsequent investigation determined that the fault lies with one pilot, who was sanctioned by superiors for his reckless behavior and for the improper use of equipment during flight. This incident highlights the risks associated with distractions during military missions.
