Dramatic moment Russian warplane with Z-insignia bellyflops in emergency landing

A dramatic video shows a Vladimir Putin warplane in a bellyflop landing after the Su-25’s landing gear failed to lower.

The lone pilot decided against ejection and brought the aircraft down in flames and smoke on a military runway.

The $11 million Russian ground attack plane carries the controversial ‘Z’ insignia used by Putin’s forces in the war in Ukraine.

An expert at Telegram channel Fighter Bomber said the pilot decided on an emergency landing even though standing instructions in such a situation were to eject.

Two parachutes came out to slow the plane as it landed without wheels.
