My German ain't up to much either but the bits I could catch seem to be suggesting one or two projectiles were fired at the aircraft, and the Ukrainians have estimated a speed of 700 mph for the projectiles, and the pilot crashed trying to avoid them.

Personally I think they need to take a chill pill and read this unless somebody can point me towards a smokeless noiseless SAM currently in service anywhere!
