+MigBuster Posted May 27, 2014 Posted May 27, 2014 Flying into combat with Nav lights on? - something I do rather well in DCS http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9v8mPGBpw1M Quote
+Gepard Posted May 27, 2014 Posted May 27, 2014 Perhaps a kind of friend or foe marking. Maybe they told the ground forces: all planes with mayak (navlights) on are ours, with mayak off are russians. Quote
+JediMaster Posted May 27, 2014 Posted May 27, 2014 Perhaps, although it would be relatively simple for the Russians to realize that and turn theirs on. Quote
B52STRATO Posted May 27, 2014 Posted May 27, 2014 Well, unless one part considers that its units only are in an operation to "maintain order". Quote
+JediMaster Posted May 27, 2014 Posted May 27, 2014 I think the "order" left behind by a rocket strafing pass can be debated! 1 Quote
+Stratos Posted May 27, 2014 Posted May 27, 2014 What russian planes? Is a civil war, no russian planes entered Ukrainian air space (at least, no Su-25 for sure, maybe some recon types ;) ) Quote
comrad Posted May 27, 2014 Posted May 27, 2014 (edited) Ukrainian Air Force... Edited May 27, 2014 by comrad Quote
+SayethWhaaaa Posted May 28, 2014 Posted May 28, 2014 You guys must have some great eyesight to be able to ID it as either Russian or Ukrainian. All I saw was a dark Su-25... Quote

+Gepard Posted May 28, 2014 Posted May 28, 2014 (edited) You guys must have some great eyesight to be able to ID it as either Russian or Ukrainian. All I saw was a dark Su-25... Its ukrainian. The ukrainian government cant rely on their army, so they send loyal pilots of the Air Force to attack rebel forces on the ground. The cyrillic text said, that it was a plane that launched a rocket attack over the town of Donezk on May 26. Edited May 28, 2014 by Gepard Quote
+JediMaster Posted May 28, 2014 Posted May 28, 2014 of course, but "There is nothing hidden that will not be made manifest ..." from the Bible the future will tell the truth Hasn't done a great job so far on JFK's assassination. It's been over 50 years, not sure how much more "future" we need. Quote
