(I'm lacking English vocabulary to explain correctly, please correct me). It is likely a mix of pilot decision making and lack of 'agility' of the plane (it's movement are coherent with hydraulic control issues). Great pilot btw, will need a medal Grozny had two fogs when the shooting occurred, a physical one, natural, making it hard to land, and an electronic one (constant above russian infrastructure close enough to Ukraine), making the landing harder to dangerous. I haven't looked into it, but I would bet that the pilot was circling the airport before being shot. Probably an iff failure on Russian air defence: we know that at least 7 of their own military planes being shot by their own air defense.
