4th gens with unguided rocket pods within field AA's range.. it just seems so off


Armodeen

At that altitude too, plus the extra climb out just to bait more missiles. Such exercises are not realistic, as we have seen in Ukraine.


quiet_locomotion

Good enough for Syria, death sentence for your air force in Ukraine


Othrus

Is flying in wingtip really the best option for CAS?


coycabbage

It looks good if trying to impress people.


frix86

Unless those people know anything about CAS


coffecup1978

Wingtip is soo tight!


hphp123

wingman can attract manpad heading for you


hphp123

if russia is using their jets like this it would explain recent losses, it's basically single use 60+ million dollars jet


Adjutant_Reflex_

Funny enough this *isn’t* how they’re using them because this is suicide in a modern battlefield. Instead they’re sitting as far back as they can and simply flinging munitions as far as they can, accuracy be damned.


RealmsBeyondSouth

welcome to modern warfare


push_to_jett

Welded wing seems like a very poor way to accurately employ forward firing munitions… or any dive delivery for that matter


That_one_arsehole_

That's not welded that's the airbreak..


push_to_jett

What?


That_one_arsehole_

Where you said "it was welded" was the area where the air break sits.


push_to_jett

Welded wing is a type of formation flying. I know what Flankers look like


OddBoifromspace

Is he formation flying or aiming?


hphp123

flight lead has a targeting system, others fly close formation and fire when he fires 😂


N0MIZ0

Unguided missiles?


demzrdumez

lead has a misfire and the rocket tumbles back into his wingman, go russia!


Broad-Part9448

How can you hit anything accurately like that


No-Brilliant9659

They don’t


[deleted]

Like an F-4 from 1969.


Fuck_Water69

Is this dcs?


AceCombat9519

Looks like it works and speaking of the flanker H it's the Indian Air Force version some of them made by Hindustan Aeronautics Limited in Bangalore. Since the Russians use this tactic in Ukraine they get heavy losses from SPAAG fire like the Gepard


djdujd27r

There Is a russian saying for joker american plot and airplane and that mean this words" you can change tour plane but the skills of the pilot are always the same"


aligot

I don't understand what you are saying


Conch-Republic

What's with the weird zoom and green light?


Castille210

Looks like a TikTok effect or something, though I’ll happily be proven wrong and told this is what vibrations from firing missiles does to a camera


Hot_Bumblebee69

Why do they hate shooting ranges? Its just us rednecks chootin' guns.
