In December 2019, a Polish Air Force MiG-29 of the 41st Aviation Squadron experienced a generator failure.
Former Air Force Inspector General. Tomasz Drewniak called the generator failure „ one of the worse cases that can happen to the pilot ”: – If the generator sits down, the pilot simply has no energy in the machine. The electricity from the battery lasts for 5-10 min, and then everything turns off. The instructions in such cases are clear: „ Immediately stop the task and land at the nearest airport ”.
