Somebody was touching off flares like their life depended on it…
​
are those flares initially?
source?
​
EDIT; Hit a 0:53 (computer)
To the right hand side
1:03 mobile
2x hit or missile impact [implosion] detonation
Claimed to be friendly fire, launched from Mariupol. Russian sources.
A plane a day keeps the rapists away
Air defense doing.
Damm if this is real it is insane footage.. they would have know the missile was coming. Hope they enjoyed the fear and sh*t their pants before going down
The entire plane became the flare/heat trap.
Wikipedia says they have 7 active. So there goes 16 percent of their fleet
Woah
How many fucking flares do they carry?!
Absolutely incredible, this is an irreplaceable loss. Russia started with 9 of these, one was shot down in the Wagner Insurrection, one may of been damaged at an airfield in Belarus, and now 2 have been shot down over the Sea of Azov. The crew on that plane are a significant loss as those are highly trained operators and not Mobiks. Ukraine is getting the air space prepped for the F-16 arrivals.
Aren’t these extremely valuable and they only have a few of these left? And they lost one last month too, didn’t they?
