My comment wasn't about Russian multi-crew rationale, or even to support that the aircraft in question was a Su-25, but rather just to point out that two parachutes don't rule out a Frogfoot.
I found it interesting; I had no idea that there was two-seater combat version. I suspect that the rarity of this variant (?) and the height at which it was shot down point towards a different type, but thanks for the informative correction anyway.
