That sounds more feasible than being hit by a Patriot missile, having some of the crew killed & injured, then landing.
If the plane crashed in the Azov sea, it gives the ruzzians the opportunity to tell a story that sounds better than 2 aircraft being shot down.
One tell will be how quick the families get notified of the deaths.
Another tell will be how quickly the funerals will be held.
It could take days or weeks to recover the bodies from the Azov sea.
Ruzzia will hide the truth for as long as possible.
