Very aggressive maneuvering seen here.  Not sure if the pilot was even conscious.

Italian Typhoon?
There must also be a flyable computer available for Nefarious to do FSO. So he doesn't keep talking about it for eight and a half hours on Friday night!

On Sunday Sept. 24, 2017, an Italian Air Force Eurofighter F-2000A Typhoon (most probably MM7278/RS-23) belonging to the Reparto Sperimentale Volo (Test Wing) has crashed into the sea at Terracina, 76 kilometres south of Rome.
Based on the several videos that have already emerged on social media, the pilot Capt. Gabriele Orlandi, for unknown reasons, was unable to /did not recover the aircraft at the end of a looping and didn’t attempt to eject from the jet.

I think now that the pilot was either conscious and entered the split-S too low or was semi-conscious and didn't retard the throttles when entering the maneuver.  Either way, tragic loss of life.

There was another Eurocanard lawn dart a few months ago.  He was doing a roll and poof.
