Russian fighter jet crashes into building in Siberia, killing two
That would be like asking what caused a US Navy F-35C to crash on the deck of an aircraft carrier then slide of into the South China Sea....
Some of that will buff right out.
Inquiring minds want to know. Did the pilot eject, and is he safe?
How much are you paid per post? The planes crash sometimes. In the first case it was a bird strike in the second bad oxigen in the breathing system.
“...after inadvertently tripping its Fly by Wire system....”
That real time computer control system stuff is hard.
Good think they had not incorporated any M$ code....
"Inquiring minds" would do well to read the text of the article provided by the OP:
Veteran Fighter Pilot Squadron Leader Vijainder K Thakur told EurAsian Times, “The plane was on an acceptance test after being built, which means it was a brand new plane...
The veteran also said in a tweet that: “A possible reason for the crew’s failure to eject could have been the incapacitating negative G experienced by the crew as the Su-30SM flying an acceptance check sortie suddenly dived sharply.”
Dang. Crashing on their first flight.
Sir, you win the Tool of the Day award.
Our planes never crash, of course. But when I heard “catastrophic failure” and “military planes” I thought you were talking about our entire F35 program.
No Thanks.
Sad he didn’t make it to fly another.
We’ve had a few of our own catastrophic losses... F35 crashes.
“RU Su-25 Rooks, The First Ever Video Of A Ejection From The Pilots View Point At Extreme Low Altitude”

The SU-30 aircraft was unable to maintain rate of climb. Followed thereafter, by inability to maintain altitude.
Attempted a restart of one of its two engines, but a delayed ignition led to accumulated fuel that burst upon ignition. But that flame pattern reduced significantly.
The aircraft decent curve increased a bit, and shortly before the aircraft exploded, one of the crew members ejected (or was ejected).
That crewmember’s parachute opened and that crewmember descended to a parking lot area. Did not learn specifics of his fate, other than he appeared to be still - on the ground.
Meanwhile, the exploded/exploding aircraft fell to the ground as well as into nearby structures.
“A possible reason for the crew’s failure to eject could have been the incapacitating negative G experienced by the crew as the Su-30SM flying an acceptance check sortie suddenly dived sharply.”Negative G leads to the pooling of blood in the head and the swelling of the face that eventually makes the lower eyelids forced over the eyes.
“How much are you paid per post?”
How much are you paid?
Your pilots suck.
Your aircraft suck.
Your Generals suck.
Your troops suck.
Your field rations are inedible.
Your tactics suck.
And your logistics suck.
Other than that your military is just great.

Comes from a civilian who based his judgement on propaganda and have no idea of war.
How does one hit any building in Siberia? Siberia has like one building every hundred miles.
