It is also reported that the pilot died

That's maybe the best part. The list of people willing to fly over Ukrainian territory must be getting pretty short.

About to get an influx of N. Korean pilots.

They'll have to bring their own biplanes.

Russian air defense seems really good at shooting down Russians.

Help me, pilot! I no longer know where I am not!

If you don't know where you aren't, you can't determine where you are. It'll be especially difficult to obtain a difference or 'deviation' so you won't get any corrective commands to drive you from where you are to where you are not...

I wonder if something like the Friendly or Foe system being broken or in the wrong setting could cause this. I think there was in incident in the middle east where an RAF Tornado was shot down by British anti-air systems as it couldn't identify the aircraft as friendly.

TIL... hardpoint is an attachment location on a structural frame designed to transfer force and carry an external or internal load. The term is usually used to refer to the mounting points (more formally known as a weapon station or station) on the airframe of military aircraft that carry weapons
