Russian pilot ejects from burning fighter jet as it crashes
Helmet camera footage captures the moment a Russian Su-25 jet spun out of control mid-air and then fell to the ground in a flaming wreck as the pilot narrowly escaped with his life.

On Sunday, an Su-30 plane taking part in a training flight over Irkutsk - eastern Russia - nose-dived into the ground, killing both of its pilots.
Those airmen have since been named as Maxim Konyushin, 50 and a renowned test pilot, and Major Viktor Kryukov, 43.
The exact cause of the crash remains a mystery, though information has emerged that both pilots may have blacked out in the cockpit.
A second plane was sent up to make contact with the doomed aircraft after it failed to respond to calls from the Irkutsk Aviation Plant and began circling on autopilot.
The aircraft is though to have circled 'for a considerable period' before their fuel ran out and the plane plunged to earth.
The crew of the second plane saw the pilots 'with their heads hanging down low, in other words, they both blacked out', a source at the testing plant said.
The insider told SibReal media that shocking safety abuses were common at the plant - one of Russia's major aircraft manufacturers.
