      Is he flying evasive or is he flying nap of the earth leading up to a gun or ground strike run? I know so very little about aircraft combat, but he doesn’t seem to be looking around behind him as much as I would be if I had a bird or missile closing in.

    2. What I want to know is if the music is added in post or if these madlad pilots are really listening to Hardstyle while dodging Russian AA guns

      Someone should tell them blurring and pixelating doesn’t work so well anymore if there is camera movement. Not sure if they took any measures beyond that to protect the data or how sensitive it is, but a nice opaque box over the content you want to censor is the way to go these days.

    4. For those that are not aware, this was previously reported as UA Mig-29 performing evasive maneuvers, as the pilot was fed long range radar info. Initially some low g turns and progressing the much higher g turns at the end before he aircraft made it beyond the range of the missile.

    5. I know this is dysmal, deeply difficult and dangerous work…

      But damn does it look fun to be flying like that
