Nothing but Ukrainians downing Russian jets with MANPADS for eight minutes

Ukraine has been wreaking havoc on Russian jets with MANPADS. Video taken by the 110th Brigade shows one such shoot-down in Donetsk. Two Russian Su-25s are flying low, when one is hit by a rocket launcher. Similar footage from earlier in the war was taken by the 10th Edelweiss Brigade. They use a Soviet Igla rocket to take down another Su-25 fighter-bomber. While defending Bakhmut, the 93rd Brigade showed off what the Igla looks like. It is an old Soviet anti-air launcher which the Ukrainians have a lot of. It uses infrared sensors to lock on to its target and has in-built systems to help it detect and avoid decoys launched by jets. The missile has proved particularly lethal against low and slow-flying Russian jets, as well as drones and helicopters. More footage reveals what it is like for the Russian pilots being targeted, as the missiles come seemingly out of nowhere and streak past their jets. One pilot is extremely lucky to escape after dodging two of the rockets. Both Ukrainian and Russian jets use chaff to throw the rockets off course. Ever since Russia invaded in 2022, Ukraine has been short on air defence. So soldiers have stepped up, using shoulder-mounted rockets to knock Russian jets out of the skies and protect their comrades. Ukraine uses a mixture of different rockets – old Soviet Igla, American Stinger, Polish Perun, British Starstreak and others. These kind of weapons are most useful against Su-25 fighter-bombers, which tend to fly low and relatively slow so they can be tracked and hit from the ground. Videos taken from across the country show these kind of attacks being carried out, usually by small teams of soldiers working together. #russia #ukraine #war #Putin

  1. Ukraine downed one Russian SU-25 in months. All other cases were usual Ukrainian lies. Pilot was safely evacuated. Ukraine is losing several of its remaining jets (mostly these are former Polish jets) every single month some in the air, some on the ground.

  7. Guys they aren't rockets, they are missiles.
    Rockets = unguided.
    Missiles = guided.
    You're not going to shoot down a jet with a unguided rocket.
    Just saying. 😎

  10. Over the past two days, the Russian Armed Forces, using coordinates kindly provided by the supporters of legitimate elections in Ukraine, carried out several targeted strikes in the Kharkov and Nikolaev regions, where instructors from Germany and Lithuania, officers of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and the Polish General Staff held meetings, without particularly hiding their identification.
    Today, Ukraine and Poland broke the air ambulance record for 200 cargo.
    121 bodies were evacuated to Poland and further to the Czech Republic, Germany and Estonia for funerals.

  23. I am just confused. Ukraine is loosing the war and running out of Soldiers. So these if a true video footage is nothing to celebrated and probably happens on odd occasions. Otherwise Ukraine would have been winning.

  28. Soviet Army going full Mad Max mode at the moment…

    If they wouldn't need Pick-ups for supplies… they would also attacks with Technicals full front.

  32. Ya es hora que ucrania empieze a recuperar terreno perdido ya que la tactica enemiga es conquistar metro a metro sin importar las bajas y no importa el precio ,por esa misma razon esa tactica es peligrosa para ucrania entonces ucrania deberia llevar un contraataaue solo en un solo lugar pero tan efectivo como para recuperar gran terreno y ojala no sean pueblos ya que eso relentiza el avance. Co empujar y atacar empujar y atacar digo yo o estoy ciendo muchas peliculas jaaaa

  34. Esas carreterras deberian ser minadas para esos harlistas rusos ,veo que cruzan campantes esas carretaras ,no denerian ser bombas de racimo si no minas de racimo
