Wow is right. Great footage of the exhaust getting swept up in the vortex of the rotor wash too.
Thats pretty unique footage. Don’t see a lot of solo helicopters flaring and launching up there like this.
The angle of the rocket indicates the target is fairly close. Where manpads ?
Will be patiently waiting for the Apache gun tape release in a few days…
It’s pitty that there were no manpads around.
Alleged cause we all have attack helicopters
It’s rare to see a helicopter with so much freedom of action, helicopters on both sides in the Ukraine war have to launch their rockets just a few meters above the ground due to the amount of anti-aircraft defenses everywhere
Anyone know what countermeasure was fired around 0:22 after the flares?
Hezbollah will cut the video at 0:50 and claim they shot down the helicopter.
Sure- but where did it go? What did it do?
Lot of flares but no sam. Wonder what the sam threat is like

Cool footage, rare to catch this kind of thing
