  1. Small fast missile, still burning fuel in flight and hitting directly. Could be either an Iris-T or a MANPAD, but manpads only burn fuel for a very short time so I think Iris T is more likely

  2. saucy, can you show penetration like that on reddit?

  3. Almost looks AI generated, I think it might be, which would be a serious disappointment.

  4. A few questions: Is this real? If yes, when? And why does the clip stop mid-action? The answer to the last question could be, that the videographer started running, as the helicopter looks like it could fall right on top of him.

  5. One more KA-52 accounted for!

    They probably didn’t want to show how they machine gunned the pilots out of the air.

  6. normally these helicopters are only seen by the enemy on the horizon, so this was filmed by a Russian?? looks like from the back of a vehicle).

    The helicopter is also facing where the missile came from. Also have not seen this helicopter in action for quite some time. An unexpected video.

  7. It looks slightly video gamey…. Not saying it is but I wouldn’t be shocked to discover it was.

    Not being able to see the ground makes it harder to know for sure.

    The way it starts and cuts where it does is also making me suspicious but maybe there is a longer version.

    Another thing I notice is that it almost seems like they are firing out of a moving truck… Because at the bottom of the screen you see the top of road signs, street lights and power cables occasionally come into the shot. But maybe the movement of the camera is just causing it to seem like that.

  8. Pilot ejected you can see the rotors blowing away which is what the ka-52 does before activating eject

  9. Do these things not have a functional countermeasures system or what? 

  10. I think youre suppose to launch the chaffe before you get hit😅

  11. I’m assuming that was laser guided, but I swear if someone eye balled that shot I’d give them a high five. That was the cleanest strike I’ve ever seen.

  12. As George Bush once said, “this sucker’s going down”.

  13. Looks like their helicopters fly like their turrets.
