Mainstream Media. Before they post combat vids they try to verify the truth.



Often times they call out the fakes.


That's pretty much what I do. I try to go with the "Biggies". DW, BBC, CBC, MSNBC, ABC etc. If the host is obviously one sided, buh-bye.
 
The Lada remains a popular car among the enthusiast crowd and the type does come with its own deployable "hole-in-the-ozone-layer" so that ship has sailed...



I remember the ad on TV in the 1970's: "How do you like your Lada? I like it just fine!"
 
If you can't verify it through the MSM assume it's a fake.

Or at least do your own sniff test, as it took me all of 2 mins to search for and identify the S special ed helicopter vid as fake.
That IS the purpose of sharing. Those with the ability can do the verification. Once again you attack the messenger in stead of the message. After all, that's what recon is about, seeing thru the camo.

No attack on the messenger intended. Sharing can be in error, but I do denounce those who create this fakery as purveyors of clickbait and propaganda.
 
If you ever get a chance to visit Bulgaria, particularly on the east coast, I highly recommend the Retro Museum in Varna.

It has perhaps, one of the largest collections of vintage Eastern European autos & vehicles found anywhere.

 
My thought too. No flares, using only darkness and low altitude for defense. What concerned me. was the near misses/early detonations just behind the tails. Was that a problem with the missile or was there some sort of defense used to cause the early explosion? It appears a rapid second shot defeated any such defensive deployment

Most manpads and SAMS are not impact detonated. They are proximity weapons that explode before contact and spread shrapnel out that damages the aircraft.
