The pilot? That’s a hit.

Yup. Russia has a huge problem with not having enough experienced pilots, so a dead pilot is a huge loss for them.

Although I don't really know how much of a difference one pilot makes, considering that the VVS is an abject joke and likely not capable of any sort of "real" air operations (and I'm not alone in thinking this).
