Tourist, we've threads here on the Reds 0/0 ejection (1), the Sea Kings' collision (7), the Tornado blue on blue (2), the Hercules in Iraq (10), the Nimrod in Afghanistan (14), and of course the Mull Chinook (29), and that's your conclusion?
Yes, the idea is to keep you alive and your aircraft intact, not for your ultimate survival, but so that you can do what we pay you for, to close with our enemies and to destroy them. If instead you are killed by your ejection seat, so blinded by your HISLs that you switch them off, cannot be seen and suffer a mid-air, unwarned of your IFF failure and hence shot down, destroyed by as little as a small arms round penetrating your tactical aircraft's fuel tanks, destroyed by your aircraft's AAR system, or simply ordered to fly a grossly unairworthy aircraft that kills you and all its occupants, then you are poor value for money and the enemy prevails. Is that the good operational capability of which you speak?
