Looks to me like he raised his gear too soon (maybe overrode the
weight-on-gear (WOG) switch that prevents the overeager from doing
such things on most fighters), and settled on his belly.

Or else too steep a pull up and not enough speed. A commuter airliner once
did something similar through not using flap on take off, but I dont suppose
that would be a factor here.

Great video!
