For all the problem associated with being a front line aviator, constipation isn’t one of them.

This video reminds me the amount of balls it requires to be a soldier cause if I was on that chopper, I would have interpreted that miss as a sign from God, return to base, pack my things and leave for Kazakhstan or anywhere away from war.

[robertc]

That's why they are called miss'ls not hit'ls.

[lovepeace]

this helo has Vitebsk pods on sids of wings, that are preventing manpads from hitting the target.

[larrybarnes]

Distant swearing in Ukrainian from the treeline.

[kfkvzpv]

He didn't got lucky, he did got counter manpad systems.

[Danny........]

Does anyone else notice all the artillery or bomb craters? Crazy the ordinance they're dropping.

[ali-haider]

Ka52 is equiped with ECM system called vetbisk 25 or somthing like that
It did a great job in ukraine deflicting iglas and stingers

[bruceyawen]

Not a miss - the active protection system of the helicopter blinded the missle. The ukrainians said they have to fire stingers/iglas in volleys to overcome it.

[Daxored]

Fun fact the ka52 has a blades ejector, and ejection seats.

That pilot's gonna have a great story for the grandkids...with footage

[williamzk]

The Russians have recently installed a laser DIRCM (Directed Infrared Countermeasures) to interfered with MANPADS missile seekers. The system is called Vitebsk L370. The West has had these for 23 years. Northrop Gruman's Nemisis being one of the first. The US passed over upgrading the Stinger missile (which has a mechanical rosette scan) with the AIM-9X sidewinders focal plane array for budget reasons. Now Stingers are getting jamed.

“The missile knows where it is at all times. It knows this because it knows where it isn't. By subtracting where it is from where it isn't, or where it isn't from where it is (whichever is greater), it obtains a difference, or deviation.”

Это не первый раз когда такое происходит, есть несколько видео где происходит то же самое.Но это не из за плохих ракет а из за БКО "Витебск"Л-370В52

[dutchdragon]

Tried to get the unguided heli takedown as if he was in Battlefield 4, respect.

[richardhowells]

That pilot's arse is still clenched even now 😂😂

[SeaSickBeatz]

Phew, that was what? 20 meters max? Dude probably barely saw the contrail and thought Holy shit

[Sctn]

All the spots where an explosion happened randomly spread across thr ground is crazy

[pakde]

Seeing so many bomb craters is crazy. Fire for effect takes on a new meaning. I hope those were Russian munitions.

British soldiers used to try to take down Argentinan aircraft and helicopters using MILAN during the Falklands War.
