I'm not an airframe eng so not sure if the damage is going to be easy to repair. Would this require a new wing or could it be "patched"?

The other question I have is would this type of accident overstress the wing attachment points by exerting an assymetric torsional load caused by drag on the right wing before the wire parted?

Bad luck to not see/avoid the wire but BZ to the pilot for landing safely.
