In soviet russia plane lands you

Those skids under the belly of the aircraft, are the heavy rocket launch rails. They apparently make excellent auxiliary landing gear.

Well I thinks its the robust design of the Soviet Russians that the jet was able to land without landing gear just think what could be the scenario if it was the F22 the RAPTOR

Действтельно, зачем шасси. Хоть это и была ошибка пилота, но это показало насколько русские самолеты прочны!

@1mrunforgetable They actually did that, I think it was in the 80s to show how tough their aircraft were. They wanted to show that although the American fighters were lighter and more manourverable their aircraft were tough enough to land without gear and be up and flying again.
