Port Outer (#1) engine has 1 missing blade and the other 5 are bent to some degree. Not sure what caused the loss of one, but the others are indicative of a working engine hitting the ground
Port Inner (#2) engine looks to be in running condition.
Starboard Inner (#3) engine has all blades shattered. That's... unusual, see next for why.
Starboard Outer (#4) engine also has all blades shattered. Cannot be due to tipping, as the outer fuel tank is fine (See Port side fuel leak).

Starboard inner pylon tank is either damaged or destroyed, the image makes it look like its gone, but the quality isn't great.

Judging by the "dirt path" going to the right of the photo, its almost a guarantee that the KC-130 came from that direction, left wing dipped, slowed the plane, damaged port outer engine blades and it simply turned towards camera direction at end of run.

Now, that doesn't explain the two starboard engines. They had to be running to lose all their blades, because anything else would have damaged the wing to some extent, but we don't see any marks. Maybe they were windmilling while landing and struck something parked or trees? Otherwise, it hit something in the air.



Edit: The furthest white object on the right of the photo looks like a white pickup truck, but I think the object in front of that might be the Port outer pylon tank.

While Raider 50 didn't say the impact was on the starboard... I'm thinking it was that side.

Honestly, considering the damage of the starboard wing compared to Port, yeah.

F-35 likely impacted inner pylon tank and both engines. Not sure what propellers are rated for in this day and age, but if you told me they would shatter vs the airframe of a modern jet I wouldn't be surprised.

$20 says he disconnected, flew under the starboard wing to be cool and get closer to the pilot. Pulled up without realizing where his tail was, clipped the inner pylon tank and had the props shatter on the rear airframe/rudders

Tried to ID but I have the hardest time with the low-res vid. Looks to be single-seat, and from the profile I'd guess the near one, at least, is a MiG-29.

They both look like MiG-29s, so I agree.

On 29 May 2020, Ukrainian MiG-29s took part in the Bomber Task Force in Europe with American B-1B bombers for the first time in the Black Sea region.[55] In September 2020, B-52 bombers from the 5th Bomb Wing conducted vital integration training with Ukrainian MiG-29s and Su-27s inside Ukraine's airspace.[56][57]


Both sides use the MiG-29, doesn't mean that it wasn't just two from the same side tho.

That’s something that has surprised me in many of these vids — I see these things land a few feet from cars and it appears nothing happens to them unless they hit directly. Hell, that tv tower took a direct missile strike and remained unscathed.

I mean, I’m sure this stuff is lethal, but it sure doesn’t look like it.

Depending on the rounds, they might not have the concussive effect, or shrapnel payload, necessary to do that. As for the TV tower, yeah it took a direct hit, but the construction of the tower is robust. If anything, you can see the inherent strength in those towers in that the pressure and explosive capacity of the bomb vents "harmlessly" out the open slots.
