You'll also notice that the Typhoon seems to have been taking off. The Ilyushin was landing. As wake turbulence does not start until the aircraft rotates off the ground, there is no way the Ilyushin would have been affected by the Typhoon's wake even if you were not dealing with a small/heavy category difference - it would have landed well before the point that the Typhoon rotated...never mind the effects of wind on the wake. Looks either like a low level wind shift (considering the gusts in the trees) or a pilot over-controlling on landing (which never happens).
