What if someone somehow imported a shitload of high-end computers and DCS CA licenses instead of weapons into Syria... and gave us spectator slots, eh?

 

Ok, ok... DCS Warthog slots... :D

Or the fuel went up. Looks as if the chopper was already burning a little while going down, maybe the fire ate through the tank. It does look like a typical fuel explosion to me (I´m a firefighter in RL), a bomb wouldn´t create such a pronounced fireball.

That helicopter was pretty high. I wonder what brought him down?

Any videos of helicopters blowing up rebels?

 

 

 

 

I'm betting on a SAM hit.

Apparently the rebels now have man-portable SAMs.

 

Clearly nobody is supplying them.

Would you not see contrail from the SAM? When the camera is initially zoomed out, you can see alot of sky, and nothing like a plume of smoke leading towards the original position of the heli. I don't think the video's conclusive proof one way or another...

The threat or possibility of Surface to air missiles being used on commercial airline has been an acknowledged threat from the early 90s. When the U.S. attempted to buy back the Stinger missiles, with a $55 million program to buy back around 300 missiles (US$183,300 each).[/url]

So to start worrying about it now is a bit over dramatic

CNCs and Laser engravers are great but they can't do squat with out a precise set of plans.

They were code-locked AFAIK.

Why were they buying them back, if that's the case? $184 000 dollars 20 years ago is is well over $200 000 in today's dollars.
