KM-1M Ejection Seat — history and use

The KM-1M seat is an improved version of the KM-1 seat, used in many Soviet fighter jets of the second half of the 20th century. It was developed to improve pilot safety and ensure a swift escape from the aircraft in emergency situations. Debuting during the Cold War, it saw widespread service from the 1960s through the 1990s with Warsaw Pact countries and other Soviet-allied nations. The seat was fitted to the famous MiGs: the MiG-21 (the world’s most exported supersonic fighter), MiG-23, MiG-25, and MiG-27. It enabled many pilots to survive operations in various conflicts, including the Middle East and Afghanistan.
