Russian aircraft tend to be fairly solidly built with underdeveloped airfields and basic maintenance in mind. One advantage of rear engined designs is that the motors remain undamaged after an event like this, where as under wing pylon mounted ones are often torn off with corresponding damage to the airframe.

Jack it up, sort out the landing gear, bit of panel beating and its good to go.
