Polish official says pilot of crashed jet saved
A Polish official says that an air force jet that had earlier disappeared from radar screens has been found crashed but the pilot has survived.
Deputy Defense minister Bartosz Kownacki says the pilot managed to eject on Monday and that parts of the MIG-29 fighter jet have been found near the town of Minsk Mazowiecki, which hosts an air base.
The Polish air force uses mostly NATO hardware and US F-16s but still operates some Russian equipment, including the MiG-29, which are being phased out.
