....piloted the Il-112V during its first flight in 2019.....

The second flight two years after the first? How bad was the first flight?

The author isn't very clear on what a jet engine flame-out means.

The entire scene reminded me of the condition of America with Biden at the controls.

Looked like a bad engine fire on #2 and they kept flying, long after they should have just found a flat spot or bailed out, fast. The fired burned through the aileron connections and they were without hope at that point.
