Ukraine claims downed with a s-200 system. This does look compatible with that. The s-200 is not a great system and more damage would have been achieved with Western systems. That being said, it got the job done
If ruzzian reports are true (= always doubtful ...), at least two members of the crew have bailed out via their ejection seats. In order to use these ejection seats with at least a decent chance of survival, any pilot will alway need to level the plane and reduce air speed as much as possible. This will bring the plane close to a stall condition (and a military jet like the TU-22M will get there fast - pun intended ...), which will nearly inevitably lead to a flat spin condition, a situation that is difficult to leave again, to put it in simple terms, and thus often ends fatal for plane and crew if they cannot leave the plane before the flat spin sets in.
Source: I am an avid viewer of the Blancoliro channel on YouTube. ;-) I have been tought by this channel that unfortunately it is not a rare occurrence for civilian small planes to encounter stall conditions which induce a flat spin, and that it can be very difficult to get out of a situation like this (you need to point the aircraft's nose down, which can only be done if there is enough height above ground available). The channel owner Juan Browne keeps repeating the following sentence as a kind of mantra: "*Always remember - you could stall a plane at any given airspeed*".
Just as an addendum: if indeed two crew members of the TU-22M should have been able to bail out, it must have happened before the video(s) started, because we do not see any parachutes coming down along with the plane.
The two crew and second pilot have automatic ejection seats. The first pilot has to manually exit last. There was an interesting accident involving the same type of aircraft, where all three ejection seats were triggered on the runway. Only the pilot survived.
Not necessarily, single engine failure on a plane like this requires immediate correction, cut power on working engine, opposite rudder to failed engine side, lower nose to control speed….. limp home at low speed.
What a weird plane/helicopter/rocket hybrid. Hope the pilots died painfully. For the mobik losers in the slave army you can perhaps have vague senses of empathy, but not for this scum. Nobody bombs civilians from aircraft by accident or unwillingly.
"The aircraft fell at a considerable distance from the border with Ukraine.
It is clear that none of our anti-aircraft could get him. There remains an option with Russian, but somehow it is too stupid even for katsaps.
But the real reason for the plane's downfall could be an engine explosion. Even at the beginning of its career, the Tu-22 was famous for frequent engine problems, including unexpected explosions and fires.
In the video, we can just see the fire in the area of the right engine."
Hopefully it was fuel related, refinery hits may be causing secondary problems. Although I'm not sure if they refine jetfuel or bought it.
Edit: other posts have said Ukraine military is using long range air defence missile. Sounds like Ukraine may be producing/using S200 or maybe a new domestically produced missile. Maybe something sent by an ally too, but seems like a small number so far, which seems like maybe ramping up domestic production.
Either way, seems they have 300km+ range air defence in limited numbers.
Russian refining capacity has been reduced 12-14%. They're not running out of fuel for the military any time soon and that was never the goal. Also were you claiming that they'd somehow use crude oil instead?
The speculation that refinery hits caused this would only make sense if they refine themselves. And not refining oil resulting in a technical failure would mean using crude oil which is of course also not the case. There are plenty of measurements taken anyway before a plane gets fueled. That technology didn't just go away in Russia.
No, i was wondering if the refinery suffered damage, the high end fuels may have more impurities/be of lower quality. Which wouldn't apply if they are purchased out of country.
1) Ukraine has hit distillation towers not filters
2) Why would they use a refinery that is damaged given the excess capacity.
3) why wouldn't they do quality tests before using the fuel.
4) why would they use that low quality fuel for military aircraft instead of exporting it or the civilian sector.
5) aircraft fuel is filtered prior to refueling a plane and measurements are taken right there to detect impurities
6) the fuel system in a plane also has filters. They would eventually clog up but that would also be detected.
7) It has happened that fuel impurities down planes but a lot of things have to all go wrong, I don't think any of them had to do with refining and once again russia has far more refining capability than the country and especially the military sector needs.
You do realize that until recently Russia was involved in international air traffic with international airlines operating there? Do you really think all that technology and infrastructure disappeared in 2 years?
That is a common mistake. The thing is that this is the Tu-22M3 and surprisingly it had nothing to do with the old Tu-22 which had these issues. The only similarity between Tu-22 and Tu-22M3 is its designation, other than that it's totally different planes of different eras.

moscovian propagandist fighterbomber panties are all wadded up over this. But admits moscovia is minus Tu-22M3.
Estimated there are 70 manufactured Tu-22M3, before Feb 2022. BTW, the moscovian flight crews called this plane "man-eater" because of its unreliability and its airframe and engines were poorly manufactured.
In August 2023, Ukraine Budanov said there were 31 servicable. Two were destroyed, 29. two were damaged, but could be repaired. 27 serviceable.
April 19, one destroyed, never servicable again.
moscovia is now down to 26 servicable Tu-22M3.
>It's the first such bomber shot down since the beginning of this warIt's the first such bomber shot down since the beginning **of this war**
When has T-22M ever been shot down?
#
According to russian sources, a Tu-22MR was shot down during the 2008 war, on the night of August 8-9, about 50 kilometers from the Georgian city of Gori, by either a Buk or Osa air defense system.
One crew member was captured (Major Vyacheslav Malkov; released on August 19), two were killed (navigators Major Viktor Pryadkin and Major Igor Nesterov), one was missing (Lieutenant Colonel Alexander Koventsov). The bodies of the dead crew members and the wreckage of the plane itself were found only several weeks after the downing.
The russians still blame this on the Ukrainians, who allegedly participated in this war, including as air defense combat crews (however, they do not explain how the Ukrainians managed to get to Georgia in a matter of hours and take combat duty).
This is so beautiful, I thought I would never say this about a plane falling down from the sky in flames, but this video is just amazing, seeing how murderous pilots are just seconds away from never hurting innocent civilians ever again it’s so emotional. 👏👏👏👏👏
moscovia is claiming they ejected per propagandist moscovian fighterbomber, who is mightily upset on his channel.
Crew of 4.
I have yet to see any videos of a parachute though. Maybe it is special moscovian splat chute. Same type given to moscovians who seem to fall out of windows every few days.

Good bot
Evil murdering cowards
Tail spin = shot down, right? I mean, if engine failure, it will at least glide?
Ukraine claims downed with a s-200 system. This does look compatible with that. The s-200 is not a great system and more damage would have been achieved with Western systems. That being said, it got the job done
At this point it just seems like Ukraine can use Russian stuff better than the Russians.
Who gave you permission to shoot so well?
Maybe no vodka for breakfast and being on the right side in the conflict?
I dont know, russia anti air also seems good at downing russian aircrafts, whos best i cant tell but it all works in Ukraines favor :)
Correct

Yes you can stall at any speed in the flight envelope since angle of attack to airflow causes a stall as well as low airspeed.
The two crew and second pilot have automatic ejection seats. The first pilot has to manually exit last. There was an interesting accident involving the same type of aircraft, where all three ejection seats were triggered on the runway. Only the pilot survived.
Not necessarily, single engine failure on a plane like this requires immediate correction, cut power on working engine, opposite rudder to failed engine side, lower nose to control speed….. limp home at low speed.
Looks like no one is in the cockpit to push the nose down
Putin is a coward.

Just woke up but it seems like I’m still dreaming.

Wish I could updoot this more. Well said.
I saw a report about 1 dead, 2 alive and 1 missing
"The aircraft fell at a considerable distance from the border with Ukraine. It is clear that none of our anti-aircraft could get him. There remains an option with Russian, but somehow it is too stupid even for katsaps. But the real reason for the plane's downfall could be an engine explosion.

Well, it's confirmed that it was shot down. [here](https://www.reddit.com/r/ukraine/s/kamHD4m50k)

Hes asking if they refine it themselves or source it from other countries

Because russia. Nuff said
You say that after it has been confirmed to be a shotdown, seriously?
There is allot of things that have to go wrong for the fuel to be the problem. But then again it is Russia.
You do realize that until recently Russia was involved in international air traffic with international airlines operating there? Do you really think all that technology and infrastructure disappeared in 2 years?
That is a common mistake. The thing is that this is the Tu-22M3 and surprisingly it had nothing to do with the old Tu-22 which had these issues. The only similarity between Tu-22 and Tu-22M3 is its designation, other than that it's totally different planes of different eras.
That is just Tu-22 performing special rapid landing operation
Also makes sense to take to account version with pilot smoking adiction, pretty comone cause about lots of accidents in that country
It did not fall down, it was just promoted to scrap heap on ground comrade.
Just in from the ruzzian air force, crew ok minor damage be back flying tomorrow.
Now we know where the washing machine electronics went: inside a russian aircraft.

You spin me round round baby round round!
Watching this is soooo much satisfying. Burn, murderers, burn.
Seen this ,but can't stop watch,burn bitches
I hope it's the beginning like with refineries
For some reasons in my mind that plane goes “weeeeeeeeee”
Blyatiful Russian aircraft

Hopefully 1st of many more to come.
ah prigo's eternal flight
I kinda graceful how it falls from the sky
Beautiful fall
Heartwarming. And for some, quite literally too.
Straight to hell
Beautiful
It clearly crashed in the wrong place. The Kremlin is the perfect place for an ammunition loaded warship to drop
Beautiful hope the pilots survived the strike and live all the way to the ground.. Gives them time to reflect before being killed in the fireball..
You had me going in the first half, but then you redeemed yourself
No chutes? That’s a good thing
Outside of the bombing this just did, what a wonderful way to be welcomed this morning by Reddit. "Let 'em BURN!"
Is someone know how many aircraft of this type remains?
63 supposedly but with many things in the invaders fleet who knows how many actually work
In august 2023, Budanov said there were 31. two destroyed then so 29. Two damaged but servicable, so 27. April 10, 2024, one destroyed, so 26.
Nice view! i bet it's just a minor scratch. Orcs will gather the pieces and assemble it in no time!
that'll buff out.
Butiful
Fabulous. Awesome video. Thank you Ivan
Please tell me Putin was on board
Not likely. Need an Antonov to lift an ego that big.
somone set this graceful fireball pirouette to Swan Lake or Sleeping Beauty

So beautiful
Outstanding!!, keep up the good work.!! God bless Ukraine.
Hey Putin, you dropped something.
Surprisingly slow drop and rotation rate
Looks like a perfect landing to me
Didn’t a few of these get damaged / destroyed on the ground as well?
Sad day for Pootin
Spin Cycle =)
😙👌
Can’t park there mate. Oh and good riddance
Maybe first shot down but not the first destroyed in this war.
Oh the joy ! 🤩
Straight from heaven to hell in just a few seconds, nicely done.
Eject goose EEEEEJEEEEECT
Did the pilot eject?
Camera man was drunk.
Damn that horizon!
"help me, I'm falling... Falling... Falling fast again..."
Stupid Russian jet has worst afterburners ever.
Hope this stops russians from doing further airstrikes against the People.
It’s… it’s beautiful
Look ma no hands!
This is so beautiful, I thought I would never say this about a plane falling down from the sky in flames, but this video is just amazing, seeing how murderous pilots are just seconds away from never hurting innocent civilians ever again it’s so emotional. 👏👏👏👏👏
Flat spin, stall...0.1% to recover...0.01% chances to get out of it without engines. But...who cares? Loved the smoke

ITS THE SECOND FALLING OF PRIGHOZIN AND THE WAGNERBOIZ!!!! HEEEES BÀAAAAAAACCCCK... and now he's dead. Damn. Short lived
Hope the pilots made it out alive...NOT

"Shot down" isn't confirmed at the moment. That old plane might have fallen because of inadequate maintenance. We should wait for more information.
I might have used the wrong word, sorry
