Impact verdict
Medium impact. Two military aircraft are total losses and four crew members ejected, suggesting significant hull and potential liability exposure; however, all crew survived safely, limiting life/casualty losses. Military aircraft may reduce commercial insurance exposure depending on government indemnification.
