I read the news this morning, though it said type of the aircraft and pilots survival were not confirmed. I guess it was JH-7A too.

中国人民解放军一架战斗轰炸机7月19日上午在中俄“和平使命—2009”联合演习期间坠毁。报道说，飞机是在吉林省洮南合同战术训练基地上空飞行期间坠毁的，目前尚不知道机上的两名飞行员是否逃生，也还不知道飞机具体型号和飞机坠毁的原因，中国军方正在进行调查。

Both pilots died? The exercise is being conducted in land areas, so if the pilots ejected they should be fairly easy to search for. Both seats on JH-7 are ejection seats, I really wonder how come neither pilots ejected???

If the accident was too near to the ground and pilots were inexperienced, they might fail to eject (too nervous?).

According to a Russian report, the aircraft suddenly banked to one side. A pilot can only eject upwards when the aircraft is flying too low. Any official report confirming the pilots are dead?



Edit: This report confirms it but never says how the aircraft crashed.
