Flare (Su-25) vs AA Manpad
Its old but rare to see. From 2008 conflict in South Ossetia.
Su-25 close call against Anti.Air Missile (probably. IGLA) Manpad.

00:22min you can see how the rocket changes its target. Flares woked very good.

I doubt that's a missile, looks like a seagull. There's no contrail or anything and certainly no sign it changed direction.

@piloteer Good luck spotting any missile contrail from such distance on such bad quality video.

@piloteer missiles only burn fuel in the first seconds of flight, after that they go ballistic and keep maneuvering to intercept the target, it's virtually impossible for the pilot to see it most of the times. the only way a pilot might realize he has just been fired at, is to look for trails coming out of the ground near him

@Travis1991 At 0:22 it comes from right to left underneath the aircraft. You can just barely see the flames coming from the missile. It looks almost like another flare moving very fast.

@Epic_Beard_Man ya or a shitty surface to surface missle, i would hardly consider it guided.

@CptCrunchr It's probably an infrared guided shoulder fired missile.

I think the missile is visible at 00:22 coming from the right, no flares means dead on impact. But it sure is weird to see television crews standing and filming war like some kind of tourist attraction at 00:50 :S

@DamnNation Think they filmed near the border or an international (US?) base.

@butter but in BF3 you'd be dead because you can't spam flares like this pilot does

I don't see any rocket at (0:22)... It is standard procedure for each air raid, after attack shooting flares and start maneuvering, although there is no danger...

@cptVLK I see it. It is very small and hard to see. Comes from the right of the screen below the aircraft at 0:22.

@Waffen-SS You'd be hysterically mashing that flare button too if you had a surface-to-air missile going after your ass at 800 meters per second.
