I was wondering how come they didn't eject..untill I read it was right after the take off. It must have been sudden for them not being able to react in time.

 

Sounds like they got hit with asymmetric thrust. A sharp bank to the left? Sounds like they didn't maintain VMC.

 

Then again, I know nothing about the SU-24's properties as an airframe and I'm just a jerk that flies more modest things.

Reformers hate him! This one weird trick found by a bush pilot will make gunfighter obsessed old farts angry at your multi-role carrier deck line up!

I'm by no means an SU-24 pilot but that is a centerline thrust aircraft much like a T-38 or F-18. They have no Vmc.
