Second Russian jet in 5 days crashes into buildings in Russia. Both crew reported killed.
And these aren't the only crash landings they've had. Russian planes seem to have trouble staying in the skies even when not being shot at.

Well Sergei Shoigu did today "worry" that Ukraine is going to use a dirty bomb on them...

Oct 23 (Reuters) - Russian Defence Minister Sergei Shoigu told his French counterpart in a telephone call on Sunday that the situation in Ukraine was rapidly deteriorating and trending towards "uncontrolled escalation".
In a phone call with French Defence Minister Sebastien Lecornu published by the Russian side, Shoigu said Moscow had concerns Ukraine could use a "dirty bomb" in the conflict, without providing evidence to support the suggestion that Ukraine might use such a weapon.
Worrisome that this will take the wind out of the Ukrainian counterattack in the south. If the damn is mined the Ukrainians will find it difficult to remove the mines while the Russians watch on the other side. Also, crossing the bridges to the south of the damn would be risky as the Russians could then blow the damn to cut the forces off. Maybe their best bet is to HIMARS the heck out of the eastern side of the damn while they remove the mines.
On the other hand, Ukraine have options open that doesn't strictly require crossing the Dnieper immediately after liberating Kherson.
My armchair general take on it is that Ukraine will aim to reorient for a push down through Zaporizhzhia with a logistics chain mostly across land to support it, the rail link across the Russian land bridge from Crimea is already within Ukrainian artillery range, and not much is moving across the Kerch bridge in the immediate future.
I believe Ukraine is still upholding the operation security radio silence. Bit of news from even more liberated towns but the main operation going on is still pretty unknown for public me thinks.

I imagine that does not feel good.
Going to take a wild guess and say that Ukrainian forces captured the pilot, took the device he was filming with, laughed their ass off and uploaded it.
I somehow doubt that if the pilot made it back to Russian lines, they allowed him to keep that recording device (without checking) and he was on top of that dumb enough to upload it.
If you're a Russian pilot and get captured by Ukraine isn't that the best case scenario?
