A Polish Air Force MiG-29 fighter plane went down over Central Poland on Monday, sparking a search for the plane and pilot.
The Polish Deputy Defense Minister reported that the plane crashed, but the pilot lived after ejecting himself from the crashing vessel.
Reportedly, the crash occurred when the pilot was attempting to land. The pilot's condition is unknown beyond him being alive, and he has been transported to a local medical facility.
Ten teams of firefighters reportedly searched for the jet near the 23rd Tactical Air Base in Minsk Mazowiecki in central Poland. The crash was ultimately discovered by woodsmen with the Polish States Forest.
The Polish Air Force utilizes three types of fighter jets: 31 Russian-made MiG-29s, 32 Soviet Sukhoi Su-22s, and 36 Lockheed Martin F-16s.
