Two pilots were killed when a Belarusian SU-27 fighter jet crashed at an air show in Poland, the Belarus Defense Ministry reports.

The crash is believed to have been caused when a bird flew into the engine.

However, no civilian casualties were reported at the air show being held near the town of Radom in central Poland.

It is the second SU-27 crash to have recently occurred. Two other fighters collided at Moscow's MAKS air show two weeks ago killing a pilot. One person later died in hospital from severe burns received during the crash.

Suisse Air Force has suffered many such casualties with birds around the lakes, but they have developed infrasonic systems to drive the birds away, or send eagles after {hawks} or even shoot them. Around NATO {Poland military} airports thou, may be NATO was able to install systems that do the opposite. In recent years Greece has lost several personalities under such inexplicable circumstances: Minister of Foreign Affairs Kranidiotis, a thorn in the eyes of NATO, and Greek Orthodox Archbishop of Alexandria, a thorn in the eyes of Zionist and the son of Onassis, with Onassis being at that time “the enemy Nr.1 of the US”, as he was trying to undertake exclusively the oil transport of several Gulf countries. As almost every day Turkish jet fighters violate the Greek air space and very often US and “Israeli” jet fighters do that too, I wish Greece could develop such systems to make fighter jets inexplicably fall down in the Aegean waters over the oil naps.
