After almost 6 months of war, Russia's high OPTEMPO has ground its equipment down to the point where vehicles are in dire need of reset. Fighter jets aren't Toyota Camrys - they are highly tuned machines that need extensive care before takeoff and after landing. Pushing aircraft and pilots too hard can lead them to the breaking point.

Unfortunately, we don't know the official disposition of pilot the Russian SU-25 Frogfoot that crashed in that video. But all pilots know that one day, they my go up in their aircraft not knowing that it is their final flight.
