Moment Russian pilot ejects from burning fighter jet seconds before explosion

Newly released footage shows the moment a Russian pilot ejected from a burning fighter jet just moments before it exploded.

Just moments after the pilot escaped the jet it came crashing down into a field, bursting into a ball of flames.
