VIDEO - Russian fighter jet CRASHES in fireball straight after take-off in Crimea
A Russian Su-25 fighter jet has crashed immediately after take-off in Crimea, emitting a huge fireball

On Sunday morning, the jet, which costs an estimated £9.5million, tried to take off alongside another aircraft at a strip on the Crimean peninsula.

After lifting off from the runway, it veered sharply towards the left and then plummeted towards the ground, emitting a huge cloud of black smoke.

Its a Close air support (CAS) aircraft, not a fighter and that was a wing stall, like this B-52.

I don't understand, was this mechanical failure, or did the 2nd plane get into the 1st plane's wash at low speed?

Looks like he initiated the turn at too lower speed, the wing completely lost lift.

Other guy right next to him seemed alright with the same turn.

I think he got into dirty air.

Meanwhile 5 us sailors are in the brig for sharing video of a woman pilot flying an aircraft that cost ten times what the Russian plane cost into the tail of her own aircraft carrier.

Clown world.

Yeah, that was a WTF for me too. Su-25 are some of the most competent badass CAS pilots out there and there was nothing tricky about that airfield.
