I wonder if the pilot got GLOC in the 21. Of course, those Libyan jets hardly have a high quality of maintenance, so something could've broken.

 

The Mi-8 looks like classic VRS combined with fatal damage to the tailboom on initial impact. If he'd bottomed out the collective on impact it would've stayed down, but alas...
