Am i blind? Brilliant footage but i am missing the missile.
Can only hear the missile.
The chopper fires the missile, then takes evasive maneuvers.
Is this old? I haven’t seen a helicopter in Ukraine flying that high in ages
not
# Starstreak becouse star streak fall apart in 3 rounds 100 meter from target
The operator needs a bit more practice, almost got it though. Dam that missile moved fast! And those flares don’t do anything against star streaks.
His pants are brown
Ye, basically War Thunder
I hate to see it, but that was some fine evasive maneuvering. Credit where due.
As someone else said, not a Starstreak missile. Starstreak is unpropelled during its terminal phase, releasing three submunitions. It would not leave a smoke trail such as this.
This is another type of MANPADS
Fine bit of flying to avoid a Starstreak. It’s the fastest MANPADS in service and unspoofable
Damn if the missile missed I was hoping it’d lawn dart itself into the ground, or the other helo…
What a dodge but why the fuck is he so high up
i have a question, when a heat seeker missile locks on to a jet or heli does it beep like in battlefield 4 and tell you a missile is coming
Swedish Robotsystem 70 anti-aircraft robot system had hit better.
Edit : **Sweden sends Robot 70 to Ukraine – again: “Works very well” Russian attacks on Ukrainian cities continue to claim lives and Ukraine pleads for more air defense from its allies. Today it was announced that Sweden is sending the Robot 70 air defense system to Ukraine – for the second time in a year. 9 Sep. 2024**
Starstreaks on are no joke, laser guided so flares and chaff don’t work, not to mention its accelerates to mach 3. They are lucky to be alive
Hey Ivan, let go for a ride, drop a few flares and head home
I hate it when they dodge the missile
Cool, is there any more footage about Russian Helios operating? Haven’t seen much
Looks like the rocket motor is still burning so unlikely Starstreak
that must scared the shit outta him
Pucker up buttercup
Kinda off topic but the KA-52 has a really cool looking design. What’s up with all of these western European Helis and jets looking so cool?
**WATCH EKRAN**
Starstreak would not have missed.
holy shit, that was close. much closer than I expected.
Incredible
Actually not bad piloting
Why are they so stingy with flares?
Amazing footage, but I don’t think this was starstreak, the missile was intact and looks like the rocket was still burning at what would have been point of impact – starstreak would have launched the three projectiles way before this point and would be moving much faster than this.
It’s also aiming towards the engines, which might suggest IR guidance.
Whatever it was, the pilots were very lucky and both pairs of pilots probably had brown trouser moments as they expended all the flares they had whilst diving towards the ground to egress as quickly as possible
Noooo why did it miss. Damn it.
Boo! I like watching Russians fall from the sky.
Respect to the helicopter pilots damn, they didn’t hit the trees and the ka 52 was very maneuverable
