Su-34 overshoot and rolled over in Buturlinovka 04.06.15
Instructor should have taken control & gone around unless it wasn't a twin-sticker. Easy to say from the comfort of a YouTube screen though. Hope both were ok.

As far as remember, the chute mechanism failed and it did not deploy - that was the starting point. However, if the crew did not land the plane in the middle of the runway, brakes only would do the job. Or, like it was already mentioned above, the crew could take off.

Reminiscent of landing the Hunter (ahh Hawker) in 'manual' - no hydraulic power controls.
A tendency to over control in roll and sensitive in pitch, particularly with a fast, flap-less approach.

The video imagery wasn't very clear, but I had the sensation that the aircraft turned left at the last moments to avoid something just off the end of the runway. Approach lights or arrester barrier?

No offence intended, I assure you!
Go to Google Earth to that location and your will see couple of dozen pretty blue things parked there. What a bleak looking posting!!
Basil ... yes indeed!!

Glad Rag was right: on the same very day there was an accident with MiG-29. But the pilot was safe, as there were both Su-34 pilots - got just a few scratches.
This ill-fated Su-34 was later transported (by AN-124) to the manufacturer plant. Do not know whether it was used for spares or recovered (unlikely, IMHO).
Anyway, the production of Su-34 goes well.

Don't think I have flown any jet where I considered flipping upside down as something survivable. Clearly these things are made of sterner stuff.
Nice to see so much detail of the radar too; always handy to know.

Ha, blow the picture up and the two guys on the ground are casually watching a cryogenic gas venting/leaking off....can't imagine what that could be!!!!
