A Sukhoi Su-33 jet of the Russian Navy, engaged in a combat mission in Syria, crashed into the sea while trying to land on Admiral Kuznetsov aircraft carrier.
The problem was again in the capture rope, which this time the aircraft could not capture on landing, and so ended up in the water. The pilot had no choice but to catapult. He was caught Ok by a helicopter.
