This video is honestly a really interesting look at just how durable these things are built and why you see stories about Iranian missile hits but the jets still manage to return to base. These things are practically flying tanks. They’re not made of paper like you tend to imagine.
If they weren’t so low I actually think they might’ve been able to fly away from this. There was no room for recovery at this height, if it was 10,000 feet though? I think at least one of them may have been able to rtb.

Yeah, the fact that they didn’t just disintegrate is incredible. And you can see the pilots ejecting after the collision.

yeah, they were so low there was no chance to even attempt a recovery there
Very little relative speed I imagine. The jets were probably supposed to fly very close to each other in the same direction.
