A Russian Su-25 fighter jet managed to safely land despite no landing gear on the aircraft.
The moment was captured on mobile phone footage and quickly spread on social media Although the location of the military plane landing remains unclear, the Z-marking on the aircraft suggests a military role in the Ukraine war.
In the clip, the Su-25 lands directly on the undercarriage of the plane after the landing gear failed to open.

The reason behind the absence of landing gear was unknown, amid speculation that the jet had already suffered damage or a serious malfunction.
Sparks immediately fly off the plane as it skids on the runway.
The Su-25 then deploys the two stop-parachutes, which are supposed to reduce the speed of the aircraft.
