  3. 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.

  5. Captain Jodieski that’s what you get for sleeping with my wife.

  6. I doubt they’re flying that high anywhere near the front.

  8. When you lock onto your mate as a joke but then press the wrong button

  11. 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

  12. 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.

    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

  13. 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.

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

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

  19. This pilot should get the highest award for airmanship – from Ukraine

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

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

  29. 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.

  30. The way the fighter did a hard right after shooting him tells me it wasn’t friendly fire.

  31. 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.
