Kusch Posted April 21, 2008 Posted April 21, 2008 A Georgian unmanned reconnaissance plane downed at the weekend was shot down by a Russian air force jet, Georgia's air force said on Monday, citing video footage of the incident. http://www.reuters.com/article/newsOne/idUSL2153087320080421 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AfRHMbz2nuU&e 1 Give me "flying telephone pole" (SA-2)!

Avimimus Posted April 21, 2008 Posted April 21, 2008 "It's absolutely illegal for a Russian Mig-29 to be there," he [Colonel David Nairashvili, commander of Georgia's air force] said. A spokesman for Russia's air force, when asked about the Georgian allegation, said: "Nonsense. What would a Russian jet fighter be doing over Georgian territory?" Funny, isn't it? I hope this stuff doesn't escalate further (to think that the Ka-50 could be deployed to Georgia around the same time DCS:BS is released is creepy to say the least).

SVK_Fox Posted April 21, 2008 Posted April 21, 2008 mig-29 over gruzzia? http://www.reuters.com/news/video?videoId=80713
3Sqn_Fudd Posted April 21, 2008 Posted April 21, 2008 Are those coordinates on the upper left hand side? They might be... the latter values seem to be moving faster than the beginning values. If I were the Georgians I would be citing that telemetry. That or citing the clear landmarks. Seriously dumb move to attack a UAV from below, right where its cameras are. No Georgian migs huh? Nice work from the camera operator! lol 1 http://3sqn.com/forum/ Here's to 1.13 -- > http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h0488djMDBU
GGTharos Posted April 21, 2008 Posted April 21, 2008 Not at all. It's a look-up shot, preventing a miss from any potential look-down clutter (like a reflection of the sun off of water or something shiny in general, plus the UAV is likely fairly 'cold'). It's just standard A2A tactics - and it prevents you from the embarassment of saying you had to use 2 missiles on a UAV :D Of course ... the guy should've just gone gunzo!

3Sqn_Fudd Posted April 21, 2008 Posted April 21, 2008 All i meant GG was (operating under the assumption that it wanted to be hidden) that if you did not want to be seen it was a bad move. However, ground based radar probably solves this problem anyways. Not at all.

RedTiger Posted April 21, 2008 Posted April 21, 2008 "This is what a MiG-29 looks like..." Too bad you fail and those jets in the second shot are Su-27s. Thats the media for you, always great with the details. :doh:
Vekkinho Posted April 22, 2008 Posted April 22, 2008 It sure looks like a MiG-29! I didn't know there's some Russian VVS & PVO left in Georgia. This might take this incident to another level, Abkhaz separatists received MiGs from Mother Russia that noone knew of! Nice find Kusch! You must be wired to that internet 24/7! [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]

Pilotasso Posted April 22, 2008 Posted April 22, 2008 that was a wicked video...risky shot too...point blank range. .
169th_Case Posted April 22, 2008 Posted April 22, 2008 Indeed a very interesting video... Wouldn't say it was point blank range though, unless they slowed down the video, as the missile takes a few seconds from launch to hit. I guess that camera on the UAV was zoomed in quite a bit. that was a wicked video...risky shot too...point blank range. It does look as if the MiG checked out the UAV visually before manouvering in for a shot. Also, it seems as if the pilot flying the UAV knew he had company, slewing the camera to capture the MiG. Case
Pilotasso Posted April 22, 2008 Posted April 22, 2008 I meant the mig could have ingested the debris. .
vCSG3 Bloat 203 Posted April 22, 2008 Posted April 22, 2008 I meant the mig could have ingested the debris. :lol: :pilotfly: BrotherBloat
Vekkinho Posted April 22, 2008 Posted April 22, 2008 Plane obviousely took off from Gudauta but I didn't know Russian MiGs are still stationed there! From the shown egress trajectory I believe it landed in Krymsk or Krasnodar! [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
D-Scythe Posted April 22, 2008 Posted April 22, 2008 From the shown egress trajectory I believe it landed in Krymsk or Krasnodar! I fail to see how you can possibly make such an assumption.
