Aviation Brake Failure: What Happens When MiG-29 Fulcrum’s Anti-Skid Controls Fail

Taken at Kecskemet airbase in Hungary in 2003, when the Hungarian Air Force operated the Fulcrum fighter jets, the following images shows a single-seat Mig-29 experiencing a wheel brake anti-skid controls lockup on landing.

In spite of yawing to the left, the aircraft finished its landing run within the runway. As a result of the antiskid failure, there were burst/exploded tires with significant damage to the wheel-rims.

These pictures illustrate the importance of the anti-skid system and why some military aircrafts have to check the antiskid activation and radio the check to the TWR before landing.
