This is the shocking moment a Russian helicopter appears to go down in flames as it is downed in Ukraine.

Footage from the frontlines seems to show the aircraft soaring before it is targeted by Ukrainian weapons.

In the clip, it can then be seen lighting up in flames as it pummels down, exploding in a fireball as it reaches the ground.

Sheesh. That was like watching a video game - except real people actually died there.

[marcusmaximus]

Russian invaders died there.

Stinger is a bad ass weapon if you know how to use it and this team did.

I agree, but to many, American “invaders” died in Vietnam. And I suspect a lot of them didn’t want to be there.

This Article has been up 15 minutes without a Putin fanboi denouncing it as fake, or stating that allowing the Ukrainians to waste their Stingers on old Hinds is part of Putin’s cunning plan.

Don’t invade other countries without legal cause and this won’t happen.

They arent awake yet. Give the freaks time to crawl from underneath their rocks

So FR sinks to the level of DU. This is fine.

[Howie66]

And not one of those people invading our country have gotten a welcome like this.

[stuck_in_new_orleans]

Sorry I don’t support a insane dictator invading another country and killing people without justification. You’re free to support that though.

[basalt]

perfect name for that weapon....

[marktwain]

It is war.

Lots of people die.

Very sad.

This video is one reason manned aircraft are becoming obsolete in warfare.

Drones will rule the skies.

[Blood of Tyrants]

The air crew never knew what hit them.

[BlueLancer]

Looked like a video game excerpt to me ...

... but, then again, what do I know?

[cuban leaf]

I agree. Someone may have seen it out of the corner of their eye before their brain was switched off. Beats dying of Cancer or shark bite.
