the 25 didn't shoot down the other 25

not even the russians are so retarded they'd shoot down their own wingman who is directly in front of them

>>63825657 (OP)
Did he owe him money or something?

>>63825761
To be honest, we see the parachute on the mp4.

The feedback meeting at the airbase will be salty.

Isn't the lead Su-25 further away from the camera than the tail one? He gets hit during the turn to the right, which should be clear of the nose of the tail aircraft which seems to be to his left, and after both aircraft have fired their rockets?
The low angle they are shooting suggests to me that they are close to the front, but there is no missile trail from the ground either.

Yes. In year two there was semi-serious talk about sending A-10s to Ukraine. They didn't want them.

Both are crap but the A-10 has loitering time and better ordnance (Maverick and JDAMs.)

These are fucking flying MLRS with unguided garbage. They just shoot.

>>63826118
So, I found the original twitter video; it wasn't guns it was unguided rockets. Which I think makes it even funnier. I guess they're doing the usual think the ruskies use the SU-25s for and try and lob dumb rockets for saturation attacks.

To me, it really doesn't look like one jet shoot down the other. The angles of the jets relative to each other doesn't make it look like one jet is pointing at the other, but it could just be that the resolution is too shit to say anything conclusive.

>>63826183
oh yeah they've been doing that stuff for awhile, I thought they lobbed them up more but I guess you can see them kind of pull up... maybe I'm thinking of the helicopters doing it going slower

>>63826211
A combat sortie is a combat sortie. Gerasimo will sign bonuses based on the number of successful missions. This one even posed a threat to life — 150% more rubbles.

I cannot understand what is going on this video.
Is this friendly fire?
how did the 2nd plane crash?

>>63825842
They would only have use at the very beginning with the convoy, AA sees to their demise otherwise.

>>63825842
Disclaimer- I know nothing about airplane except a10 go brrr and that it's an old design.

Would they still be useful if you just used them like how zigroids are using their bombers? By that I mean, just using them as bomb sleds deep behind your own lines
>Mount glide bomb(s)
>Go high up in friendly airspace
>Lob it to the front
>Repeat
Or is the A10 not able to reach the altitude required for this? I'd imagine you could retrofit one for bomb sled duty easily enough just because if that's all it's being used for you could remove the heavy ass gun and probably shave weight elsewhere, and I also heard they are pretty cheap as far as flight hours/maintenance goes, but being low altitude strafing jets would imply altitude is the main bottleneck to me as a non-plane knower

Or is it simply a matter of "we have enough resources for X planes and can't waste them on silly plan Y", needing dedicated pilots/maintenance/fuel etc for a strategy that might not be effective not being a good gamble

How many air to air kills does the Frogfoot have?

>>63826453
+1

>>63825686
Explain the puff of smoke and debris near the wing tip (in the midst of 8 rockets)?
all of those rockets are from his buddy by the way. definitely got hit by a rocket that wasn’t armed and his bank right rips the already damaged wing off

>>63825692
>>63826403
I was gonna say, looked more like a g-overload/stress failure to me. High bank angle + catastrophic failure, wing roots are a known problem area, airframe age/cycles/maintenance also dismal. Although the FF explanation is much more amusing

>>63826453
more than F-22

>>63825657 (OP)
holy fucking shit

Jesus fucking christ and here I sat and said that surely the ziggers wouldn't out-retard themselves again and again for the past years.

>>63825657 (OP)
Wing appears to rip off as it pulls a maneuver. metal fatigue? There's a chute, so that's good news at least.

>>63826270
Standoff munitions are dependent on release platform speed and altitude to maximize range. The A-10 would therefore have to come closer to the Line of Contact than an F-16 or F-4 Phantom or whatever, which makes them more likely to be shot at by enemy air defense, and their lower speed makes them less able to evade incoming enemy fire than a faster jet would be.

>>63826629
joint failure, notice the angle

Did the wing just fall off due to Gs??? WTF>>???

>>63825657 (OP)
Wow, I guess War Thunder really is a realistic sim.

>>63826629
honestly it wouldn't be surprising if they over-g'd the airframe and it ripped itself apart. it is a hydraulic warbird, so you get a little anxious and pull too hard and the plane will do shit that kills itself pretty easy.

>>63826352
>young Russian hottie pummeled into submission by grizzled American stud

>>63826674
wouldnt it be more like, GILF with a bunch of plastic surgery gets blasted by american stud thats just slightly younger

>>63826651
I was assuming air frame over stress as well, the explosion would have been instant if the rockets armed immediately. The other possibility is that a rocket DID impact the lead aircraft and did not explode but led to structural damage and the pilot banking caused the wing to destroy itself. The wing root seems to be where the separation happened

>>63826665
these things tank stingers and sidewinders in that game, where IRL they fall out of the sky in a banked turn

>>63826665
In war thunder you can pull like a retard at transonic speed with full loadout and it still wouldn't rip

He didn't get hit. He tried to evade, but the stress was too great for the airframe and it broke apart at one of the wings

>>63825686
>It crashed under its own power.

>>63827827
Does that still count as a maneuver kill?

>>63827827
he got it AND THEN the stress caused the catastrophic failure

>>63826877
The first was in 1916.

So not only he shot down an expensive fucking jet by pure idiocy but the other pilot is alive to take revenge ? is he going to get thrown out of a window or gay raped?

Basically dropping payload changes the operating envelope, and doing thing incorrectly, by overspeeding, will lead to structural failure.

Why the fuck would you bother using an A-10 for that? Since you want to "repeat", just use a single B-52 and have it loiter safely behind your lines and drop all the glide bombs you want without even landing once.

Looks more like the wing ripped off when he was pulling out of there.
What with the airframes being 50 y/o and allat.

You actually create problems by removing that weight since the plane's balance is designed around the center of gravity being where the weight of the bigass gun puts it.

This was a stress failure/over G pull. The planes' axis don't match up in the perspective, the barrage stops way too soon for a rocket to have hit the plane at that time and the plane doesn't explode. The wing just rips off, goes into a dead spin and then it erupts into flames.

Moderate leftists generally don't unless they fell hard for the le denazification meme.
The "decolonize" tankie-adjacent types a) see Russia as the spiritual successor of the USSR, and b) have a seething hatred for the west, resulting in them generally supporting any anti-western shithole regardless of how much of a dystopian and authoritarian it is.

>>63833000
It doesn't matter when you're dealing with an authoritarian leftist. The point is that Russia fights the West and that's a good thing.

>>63837300

Typically they'll justify it by saying something to the tune of "akshyully they're defending themselves against the encroaching American colonialism because muh CIA-backed color revolution, something something Nuland Euromaidan, something something NATO expansion".

>>63837309
Authoritarian leftists have a hierarchical worldview where Western Europe, USA, Canada and other allies sit at the top. Only the top of the hierarchy can be imperialist, therefore Russia which is a teenyweeny oppressed nation that sits below the West in hierarchy is actually engaged in preemptive self-defence.
