Well, they say it's security-cam footage so that should explain....

Otherwise he/she certainly isn't "gifted" haha

Did the plane just take off too soon with a high pitch and stall?

Moisture in the air data sensor caused the plane to "think" it was sinking immediately after liftoff, thus it increased AOA (hence the sharp takeoff) but it was going to slow and thus stalled, flew level for a while before losing too much speed and eventually sinking, pilots rode it to the end and ejected right before. They tried to fly it level to increase speed and thus lift but obviously to no avail. They seemed to have ejected pretty late. Good try guys, good try shake it off.

My sentiments exactly, which is why I hate UAVs so much. Keep them for RECCE they're very effective there, but keep the weoponry in the hands of a pilot and his crew.
