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....

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....

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.

We’ve had a few of our own catastrophic losses... F35 crashes.

Like the rest of the Russian military, the Russian Air Force is a mess and not capable of defeating a near peer, Western supported adversary. The critical failing is a lack of the weapons and equipment, tactical doctrine, and skilled personnel needed to suppress enemy air defenses. As a result, Russia never established control of the air space over Ukraine and has little ability to carry out manned combat missions there.

“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.

I'm not a pilot, but I'm guessing this can't be good -->
“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.

Expect more such accidents after Medeved told the defense contractors to keep up production pace.
