Footage of the crash of the Russian Su-25 fighter jet, taken directly from the helmet of the ejecting pilot, appeared on social networks.

The video was published on Telegram by the Fighterbomber account close to the Russian Air Force, which comments and posts images of Moscow pilots and aircraft.

The fact that the images were posted by a Russian account suggests that the pilot returned to his country, possibly because he crashed in territory controlled by Vladimir Putin’s forces.

The video first shows from the cockpit how the plane shakes, begins to roll, the pilot seems to pull the stick in vain, and the next moment he ejects.

It seems that the plane hit the tail section, where flames indicate an explosion

Then the footage, when the pilot was already out of the plane, shows how the plane overturned in the air, meaning that if he had ejected a fraction of a second later, he would have been thrown straight to the ground, which almost certainly would have been tragic. results for him.

However, given the low altitude from which he “ejected”, he was lucky to escape unharmed, landing in a field when the plane crashed near a strip of trees.

The pictures also show another Russian plane, probably its mission “partner”. You can also hear how the pilot is talking on the communication system with his colleague or with the base.

The source of the Telegram images did not specify when exactly the incident occurred. According to Oryx, there is visual evidence that Russian forces have lost 23 Su-25s since February.
