1. 6 km away from the parts of Tonenke and Orlivka under Russian control

2. We should probably send some apaches to Ukraine

3. Why do they always shoot the rockets upwards? Are they guided?

4. Very unique angle

5. Great viewing perspective.

6. How does this get more upvotes than 3 destroyed S-300/Patriot launchers?

7. Weren’t we making fun of the Russians for doing this last year? Oh how the turn tables

8. Little bit of a leak going there.

9. These look like decoy flares used to draw heat seeking missiles away from the aircraft.

10. Why launch the flares if you don’t have an incoming missile?

11. That was cool… Wicked to actually hear the sound of the rockets without some awful sounds played over the top.

12. I wonder how many of these rockets fired that way hit something other than dirt. If i would have to bet i would set my money on 1-3%

13. So does this only work when Ukraine does it

14. Probably one of the coolest videos I’ve seen.

15. Who records these?
