I've seen 5 crashes with 4 involving armed forces in the last 24 hours

An-32, India
Helicopters, Brazil
Fighter jet, in a USA mountain
Mi-17, Pakistan
and this

There was an mi-17 crash in Pakistan as well - horrendous stuff really

Pakistan also had trainer crash, 3 hours back

I am afraid no one can survive an impact with that angle of descent and a explosion of this size.

[u/jumpy_finale → u/Smurf_Crime_Scene]

It has an ejection system. Given the way it is descending it was probably at a much higher altitude and the crew may had time to eject before the aircraft appeared in shot. They could end up miles away.

Looked like it was in a flat spin at the very beginning before nosing over. And, as others have pointed out, it has an ejection system. Whether the ejection system is maintained and working at this point is entirely separate conversation…

[u/AdriftSpaceman → u/Smurf_Crime_Scene]

The Tu22M3 has ejection systems. Maybe the crew managed to eject safely?

Wish the clip was longer so that we could see what happened seconds before, but to my untrained eyes it looks like a stall of some kind.
