So did he attempt to eject too low?

The body of a Russian pilot was found on the coast of the Kyiv reservoir, he probably died a year ago. Workers of the Kyiv hydroelectric power station got it, - the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

Law enforcement officers managed to establish that the deceased is a Russian soldier. This is evidenced by the shape and chest chevron. A note from the pilot of the Mi-24 helicopter was also found.

According to the inscription on the chevron, the deceased is Senior Lieutenant R. G. Mankishev, commander of the helicopter squadron.

Looks like he might have domed himself with the canopy like goose from top gun.

I wonder if he was among the wave of choppers that landed troops at Hostomel airport, after crossing the Dniper from Belarus. I think atleast 3 troop carriers were shot down and a few have been recovered from the same reservoir (one with the crew still in their seats).

Do mi 24 pilot carry parachutes?

 

[McM]

Wondering the same; at least they can't eject so far I know.
Or do they have an enhanced version meanwhile?

Don't know if you can jump from the passenger seats in the transport compartment.

I know the KA 50 and 52 blow up their rotorhead and then they eject. But mi24 so far I know doesn't got such system

33 KA-52's shot down in Ukraine @ 15 Million each.
Mi-28 supposedly had ejection seats as well, dodgy business at any rate.
