Looking at the tarpauline blowing about beside the flightline it looks like they hade a fair tailwind. Also interesting to see a dog wandering around the line too.

Bearing in mind he flew almost directly at the camera, who stood very patiently waiting for what could otherwise have been a very routine take off, I'd be amazed if it was a coincidence.

Call me a cynic.

Fighter pilots in Ukrainian AF fly about 20 hours per year. Looks like an ordinary landing for that pair was an issue and they narrow escaped a big trouble.

Best way of stopping those kind of pilots, is to post the video on youtube!

Boris, why you film me on iphone and put on youtube. Now Alexander very angry..

Thank you, Kulverstukas.
Perhaps a little Gorilka was part of the problem

Recollect when we used to refuel at Istres on the way to points East, being France, it was usual to have a glass of wine with lunch.

It is very interesting to watch the soggy bottom of the power curve fully explored and the tips of the ailerons working overtime to counter the rollover.

It seems to me to be a whisker away from a smoking hole with peripheral casualties.

The high AOA during recovery looks very scary, perhaps the power either just wasn't there or came in late.

Was the left main gear on the grass? judging by the cloud of dust?

Did he have an engine out? There's no smoke coming from the left hand engine, and why were people watching and videoing?

Freezing the video as the aircraft went by the camera, it apperas the left nozzle is significantly smaller diameter than the right. Perhaps some of our fighter bretheren can comment if differing thrust settings might be something to be expected while flat hating for a camera or would it be indicative of an engine failure.
