The aircraft attacked an aerial target flying at low altitude. As a result of a rough maneuver, the plane started to spin (according to another source, it fell into a corkscrew), which the pilot was unable to stop, so it ejected at 700 meters. The plane crashed into the garden of a house in Sárszentlőrince.
First Lieutenant Pál Rákosi was seriously injured during the ejection.
