+Gepard 11,323 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JediMaster 451 Posted May 27, 2014 Perhaps, although it would be relatively simple for the Russians to realize that and turn theirs on. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
B52STRATO 215 Posted May 27, 2014 Well, unless one part considers that its units only are in an operation to "maintain order". Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JediMaster 451 Posted May 27, 2014 I think the "order" left behind by a rocket strafing pass can be debated! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stratos 3,192 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 ;) ) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

+Gepard 11,323 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's been over 50 years, not sure how much more "future" we need. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
