    That SU-25 must have been in a pretty high attitude, contrails and all, and near a front known for UAF SAM systems?

    I actually think that SU-25 was trying to defect to Ukraine…

    The shooter makes a 180 turn right after firing his missile.

  2. The incompetency is simply amazing… lol I feel like the only question left to ask is if they’re going to add the artwork to the nose of the surviving SU-25 given his kill…? lol

    Weird incident. Aircraft crashed in Ukraine controlled territory. But from the video it looks like it was flying way to high for this front line.

    edit: there’s even an alternate angle – https://x.com/Maks_NAFO_FELLA/status/1842500529756254322

    edit2: and more from the department of “wildest war footage” – https://x.com/bayraktar_1love/status/1842503382252048758

    edit3: it sort of doesn’t look like su-25 – https://x.com/GirkinGirkin/status/1842508510199722402

    edit4: oh shit, it could be SU-70 UAV – https://x.com/TheDeadDistrict/status/1842510570529907002

    Was the su25 pilot trying to defect or something? If all statements are through flying this high near the frontline it would normally be having a death wish.

    What’s also strange is the leading plane is not doing any evasive manouvers meaning he doesnt expect to be shot at.

    That’s one way to deal with the guy who’s been stealing your lunch out of the office fridge…

    Is there perhaps a grudge?
    This isn’t a radar issue, but an air to air within visuals.

  8. I would categorise this as more likely ‘Unknown Fuckery’ than ‘Friendly Fire’. Something going on up there.

  9. Had to be a defector the Russians would rather shoot down than let land into Ukraine.

    The first and only time Russia can confirm it was friendly fire and not be lying for a change

  11. Oh we’re the wingmen
    And you know we never miss
    We just shot our flight lead down
    And now he’s fuckin pissed

  12. Remarkable footage. This definitely has to be a world first! The world is gonna wonder what on earth has caused this maybe he was indeed defecting but no counter measures used by the shot down fighter were used 🤷‍♂️ incredibly strange.

    He was in debt of 4 bottles of vodka and 3 sacks of potatoes. Rightly, it is better to break it down.

  14. He flew so high god struck him with sense, so then he proceded to to the lord’s work 🙏 thank you random Ivan, saved some Ukrainian souls

    Apparently it was a S-70 Okhotnik – a large Russian UAV. Seems they lost control and brought it down so it wouldn’t crash land intact in Ukrainian held territory.
