ED Team NineLine Posted October 8, 2015 ED Team Share Posted October 8, 2015 Yeah or CNN quotes two unnamed US officials, or better yet, doesn't actually quote them - note lack of quotation marks in article - and can't provide a scrap of evidence, either of the event itself, or which officials made the statements, or what they actually said. All the hallmarks of quality journalism right there. Relax man, its all media stuff, both sides do it, nothing to get so excited about ;) Forum Rules • My YouTube • My Discord - NineLine#0440• **How to Report a Bug** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weta43 Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 these missiles strayed inside Iran where they detonated. The only officials that have said this will only do so as 'un-named sources' off the record. John Kerry has publically declined to confirm the story ... Cheers.

pepin1234 Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 (edited) Well to be honest. I see this attack extremely dangerous for the pilots. If they continue doing this like that they probably going to be downed. I see a relation of this in the last media reports about what say the NATO is going to happen... Maybe they have accuracy Intel to know this forces have not the weapons to response. In the video you see they attack low over the enemy, don't like it.

vicx Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 I saw a video yesterday from an Al-Nusrah fighter that showed a HIND turning over his position. His friend was attacking the underbelly with a AK (good luck) but you could hear a heavier MG nearby. I think it is a very risky approach but it is probably the only way to achieve the military goal. Video was on Liveleak so I didn't post it here. If I find it I'll link here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaktus29 Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 its risky to fly so low and above terrorist groups but only if they are armed with modern Stinger manpads.. so unless US starts supplying Jabhat al Nusra (Al Qaeda) some modern manpads i think those choppers will not get down by AK-47 fire..

Lucas_From_Hell Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 The low altitude flying is probably the best way to put the rounds where they need to be with less risk of hitting civilians in the process. We are talking about 30mm shells and rockets mostly. Also, their job is to guard the area around the airbase (which is particularly close to the front lines) to save the attack and fighter aircraft from being shot down while taking off and landing. I would presume IS attacks near the base are surprise ones, so you can't send a Su-34 and wait for it to climb towards 4000m to drop a KAB-500, nor can you risk a Su-25 for a low-level strike since it would be a sitting duck when taking-off and making many passes to identify and attack the targets. A Mi-24 flight however can reach combat speeds faster and make a safer head-on pass at low altitude, acquiring the target and hitting it the first time around. Remember, the frontal fuselage is protected against HMG rounds, it is a flying tank. Talking to pilots two years ago, if I remember correctly I was told the frontal cockpit glass and engine areas can even take 20mm cannon rounds and still keep flying. Unlike 12.7mm hits though these would probably wreck the armour and warrant a replacement but the crew would be alive and the helicopter would make it back. I say this from memory though, it is to be taken with a grain of salt. All things considered, I'm not sure how effective would it be for the baddies on the ground to make a run towards a downed helicopter with a second helicopter protecting the crash site, and at such proximity to Russian air and ground forces plus Syrian army troops as well who would surely intervene. The prospect is scary, nonetheless. This RT link has a short video describing, albeit at a superficial level, the Mi-24s tasks and the possible AAA and SAM opposition it faces. https://www.rt.com/news/317841-latakia-airbase-mi24-gunboats/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucas_From_Hell Posted October 12, 2015 Share Posted October 12, 2015 I have a quick question, maybe someone else here would be able to explain. Why are the VVS ROSSII and red star markings hastily painted over in most Su-34s and Su-30s operating in Syria? There's been a high degree of transparency about their missions there, and the aircraft's silhouette's are extremely recognisable since they stand out from anything else operating in the area.

There's been a high degree of transparency about their missions there, and the aircraft's silhouette's are extremely recognisable since they stand out from anything else operating in the area. They were painted over because they had ferry flights over Iran/Iraq, atleast some of the aircraft. At that point Russian involvement was still not official.
