More "fake" footage. Russia has to withdraw from there
The War in the Ukraine
- Thread starter SampanViking
- Start date
Some random pro-Russian twitter account wrote that it was friendly fire if I remember it well. Of course everyone here agreed with that because it's normal that Ukrainians release videos from TB2 showing how they shoot down their own helis. In the latter of the said video the buildings on Snake Island are still standing so it seems like it was filmed before Ukrainian aircraft destroyed everything there...
What happend Snake Island surely hurts as hell...
Great 'source'. Please, don't post those videos here. If you'd like to watch them it's ok but those videos from amateurs are completely meaningless.
Could be just a tactical withdraw to prevent the unnecessary loss of men and equipment.
Blue on blue moments especially from drone use shouldn't be that unusual. It has happened with US forces before.
S*** happens. Won't be surprised if the Russians did in their own too.
Well in the end, someone have to land there and take picture of the wreckage. But it seems Both Ukrainian and Russian forces aren't risking anyone there atm.
There's gotta be a more reliable source than Nathan "XJ kindergardens are actually concentration camps" Russer.
this kind of low dive attack happen when place is practically empty. not even a machine gun that can damage a fighter.
they are not showing competence but desperation in empty places. than question arises why this TB-2 standing there to record a fighter attack. this assume this video is not made up.
when there is slight chance of air defense they use ballistic rocket launch technique or much heavier rockets to increase distance.

Snake island is way too small for any of that. There is no space for SAM or AShM launchers to effectively distribute to avoid incoming fire, and it is too close to the coast. You can turn that island into a parking lot if SAM launchers and a few cheap SMERCH launchers will kill it all within a few salvos.
It’s a useful piece of real estate, but it’s no Crimea.
The Russians have been doing this for a while now. This trick gets you much more range out of rockets on helicopter at the cost of accuracy. That said it's not as wildly inaccurate as people might think because Russians have put targeting computers on their helicopters specifically with this in mind ala cold war toss bombing. Bit of a neat trick I say.
You can say shit about RuAF's performance in this war but can't do the same for Russian's army aviation, Ka-52 have really being doing a lot of heavy lifting in this war.
