I don't think so
Blue Angels never do, they say the inflation of the suit could interfere with their precision steering..
they rest their arms on thigs to have steady base for arms on flight stick, inflating stuit would move their arms..
This air racing seems like a similar thing, high speed ,close proximity..
Don't know about those L39 trainers or other racing jets.. suspect they don't because extra weight and cost involved..
Either way , a G suit is not the end of all means, still need proper G resistance straining and breathing.

I wonder if it was possible he shucked some turbine parts into flight controls? Not much left to Investigate in any case.

Dunno anyones guess, To me it looked like they were in a bank, pulling, and he just stopped pulling and augered in. as you would with loss of pilot?
Maybe other video has better picture
I think if mechanical, there would be something on the radio , i think they have an open channel
if not mechanical, no transmission, I think it would be G loc?

other angle, defo looks like he was pulling, did not roll out and just augered which to me looks limp at the controls
Edit it was an L29, I doubt those have G suit equipment, but they are rated +8-4 G, so they are very capable of high G
