Alot better video of Ruaf helicopter strike

did it miss both targets? the first vehicle looked still intact after the strike. second strike looked marginally off or am I looking at it incorrectly? did the third vehicle get away?

The second one looked like it detonated behind the vehicle and neither missile looked like it did much damage considering the
takfiri rats scurrying about.   They should have strafed the takfiri rats with machine gun fire.

With machine gun it doesn't have? Not to mention that the distance to target was 5.8 kilometers.

The first target was hit, it's just didn't blow up like fireworks. It got hit in the cabin, the brakes got blown up and then it rolled down from the slope. The second target was a miss, and the pilot said "Blyat! Let's repeat", and the second pilot said "There is another one (car)", so they targeted it instead. The one in this video.

How much is the range on that last Ataka strike? Is it those 4 point something in the lower part of the screen?

Tone town your butthurt BS.  

1) Take a look at post #101 to see the machine gun.  It uses 2A42 ammuntion.

2) It took about 8 seconds for the missiles from launch to detonation in the video.    If it was the Vikr ATGM then it would travel
less than 600 m/s * 8 s = 4800 m since there is acceleration lag.  

3) The first vehicle managed to roll forward off the road.   So even though the missile struck close to its front it did not take out
neither the tires nor the front axel.   That is a pathetic level of damage for an ATGM at this sort of proximity.   So let's suppose
this was an Ataka ATGM instead since it is less powerful than the Vikhr.   Then we are back to point (2):

the Ataka ATGM would travel less than 400 m/s * 8 s = 3200 m.

4) The effective range of the 30 mm 2A42 ammunition is 4000 m.


Go and buy a clue.

definitively a rookie crew.. but Russia government told before that Syria will be the place to
train their pilots . So it possibly ,only the less trained pilots are send to those easy operations
to chase civilian cars at night trying to smuggle weapons into zones under siege by Syrian army.

The lazer aim needs to be a bit off the target while the missile is traveling so the smoke trail do not blocks the camera film and in the final 1km /300 meters centered on the target.


BTw.. anyone knows who build the ancient Ruins in Palmyra ,Romans? and what purpose those
infraestructure had there?  Is crazy to think that  Rome managed to control middle east at some
point. should had been amazing to see those cities ,when they were brand new and recently build. because still today in modern times with all the technology we have, the arquitecture of 2,000 years ago ,still is impressive to see by today standards. the same goes for egypt. Is like in some areas humanity are improving but in others when it comes to art we are moving backwards in time. lol
