The article only mentioned in passing NPP Zvezda, which is a Russian ejection seat manufacturer. I remember reading years ago how much trouble the company was having getting the US Defense Department to even consider using their ejection seats.
At the time I vaguely remember seeing a couple of Youtube videos showing Russian ejection seats in action. In one, a Russian fighter jet suffered a complete engine failure in a two engine plane. The remaining engine spun the plane around and pointed it straight at the ground. The pilot ejected just a few hundred feet about the ground, and survived with minor injuries. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g4Lz-ssypaw
In the second one, two MIGs collided, slicing the nose off one of the MIGs. Both pilots ejected safely, and also only suffered minor injuries. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g4Lz-ssypaw
