However it's hard to say since I cannot make out speed. Ailerons seem to be disabled, he's getting roll from using rudder.
I have had similar things happen to me in IL-2 and LockOn flying the Su-25T (the one with the best FM).
EDIT:
Another EXTREMELY interesting find in the hurrpedo video is that if you fullscreen it and watch the remaining flaps, you can see them "flutter" in the wind. Probably because the mechanizm is damaged and they're just flopping around. Very interesting!

Okay, come on get your head out of the ground... that aircraft would not be flying around with that much wing area missing....
I know there has been cases in RL of aircraft with massive damage and still landing but not THAT much and the cases that have survived the aircraft have had to really on a great speed to keep aloft.
