Plane allegedly shot down in annexed Crimea

The explosion occurred around 18:00 local time. Local telegram channels report that the plane was shot down and the pilot managed to eject.

The information is being clarified.

Russian affiliated channel Fighterbomber confirms the downing and identifies it as a Su-27. According to him, the cause is not yet known. The pilot ejected.

That looked expensive.

Irreplaceable, maybe?

[–] Glowstick@lemmy.world 15 points 7 months ago

Fuck yeah

Pilot reports they were not shot down, recommends banning smoking on all flights.

those new russian onboard fire supression systems really go back to the roots. Very effective in distinguishing fires.

[–] Diplomjodler@feddit.de 7 points 7 months ago

Cool video.

Is this in addition to the SU-35 also recently shot down over Crimea, or are both the same incident?

[–] LaFinlandia@sopuli.xyz 11 points 7 months ago

This one was originally mistaken for a Su-35.

Surprising pilot was able to eject with all that fire and flat spin. If shot at by friendly fire does the computer even warn you?

How bad is your command and control that you fire at a friendly plans taking off from one of your airbases?! Like yeah maybe the computer had a bad return and maybe the ATC just decided fuck putting it on the net, but damn apply some common sense lmao.

A flat spin upside down, no less

Is it only me? I'm on Voyager, and if I scroll down to the message posted by sirico (maybe because it's the last message, or maybe because his message provokes a bug, or other ofc) the page reloads and the videos replays? So I can't really read his message.

Also voyager. I think one of the videos restarting drags focus up. Definitely a bug.

Edit: if I pause each of the videos the issue stops

Yep, I’m on Voyager and the page refreshes when I scroll to the end of this thread. Weird.

[–] BombOmOm@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago

Works for me on Firefox Desktop. Might be a Voyager thing.

This is Sirico's comment:
