Syria - SAA jet being hit by a surface-to-air (SAM) missile
Looks like the all those flares being used recently by SAA pilots are being used for good reasons. Not so lucky this time.

Typical FSA bullshit propaganda! The plane was NOT hit, that's the afterburner. However, I do hope he hit a few snackbars with his bombs.

@asa-spades i agree, the aircraft was in full afterburner and climbing. however, something did detonate near the aircraft. possibly bad ammunitions being launched, that wasn't a heat flare.

@FatalSystemError It wasn't ammunition as well, it was way to small to be any kind of aerial bomb. In the original video on YT (which is not a lot better) there is a barely visible smoke trail from the missile. for some reason you can't see it after the conversion.

@exPFC Wintergreen
Are you sure that the smoke trail isn't from the plane itself?

Not a single SAM or MANPAD here.
I still found it interesting to see the jet go in and out of reheat and dump the occasional flare. Still a bogus title though.
I was also trying to figure out what type that is. I was going to go for SU-22.

@kle57 Flares don't look like that, and there are almost always multiple flares fired and not just a single one. that is definitely an explosion beneath the jet (most SAMs have a proximity fuse and are not designed to hit the aircraft directly).
It's hard to tell how much damage the jet took but it's obviously a hit.

@exPFC Wintergreen Wrong. No corkscrew missile trail. What you saw was flare, then afterburner.

it was using reheat afterburners and occasionally dropping the odd flare!! That's it!!

@ferret7382 Flares don't usually explode.

Nor does the sound of the 'explosion' reach the ground nearly instantaneously rather than the expected several seconds at 340 m/s speed of sound.
FAKE!

Plain old afterburner to gain some altitude real quick with a flare dropped for good measure. That's not a missile strike.
