A video appeared on the web of attempts by militants to bring down the MiG-23 and Su-34 over Idlib

February 27 2020

A video appeared on the web that allegedly shot an attempt by militants in Idlib province to hit the Syrian Air Force and Su-23 Russian Air Force from MANPADS MiG-34. The description for the shot video states that the Syrian and Russian aircraft managed to avoid defeat by firing heat traps.

This video was shot and published by the militants of one of the groups fighting against government forces in the province of Idlib. According to the Telegram channel Directorate 4, the terrorists tried to bring down the MiG-23 of the Syrian Air Force and Su-34 of the Russian Air Force from MANPADS in the vicinity of the towns of Banish and Sarmin.

In both cases, the crews managed to escape from the fire by shooting false thermal targets

- stated in the material.

The likelihood that this video really shows attempts to bring down the Syrian and Russian Aviation Idlib is quite large. Last Wednesday, militants three times announced attempts to bring down planes that attacked their positions. However, as the terrorists themselves admit, all their attempts were unsuccessful.

It was previously reported that pro-Turkish groups fighting on the side of the Syrian opposition, including the Hayat Tahrir al-Sham terrorist group banned in Russia, got US-made MANPADS, most likely handed over by the Turkish military to repel attacks by Russian and Syrian aircraft.

      Well done, respect to the crews and those who planned. It’s time to keep the “mopping-up group” ready at the ready together — to fill up the launch areas, so that it wouldn’t be bad.

        It won't hurt its own - of course, such scenarios were taken into account when supplying and assembling the S-400E. Against our planes, they (the Turks) need Patriots.
        But.
        As Erdogan himself admitted, "now the United States has no Patriots for us."

The shooting of heat traps is visible, I did not notice attempts to defeat in the video.
And the shooting of false targets should be carried out in any case when working at low altitudes in the area of possible use of MANPADS.

I imposed NATO on the control of MANPADS and, I sense that these missiles will come back to haunt far from the SAR. Maybe by the "sleeping moderate refugees" themselves, or maybe by the special services for a rigged provocation.

  Something like this. At the very least, the Taliban claim that they dropped a US Air Force Bombardier E-11A in January 2020 with the help of Stinger. Here, too, it is not known to whom the bearded will resell the MANPADS that fell into their hands and where they can now be used. Now no one is immune from "surprises".

    It releases heat traps, which means it is afraid of MANPADS, so the height is relatively small. Yes, and the lens shake shows that the increase is not large.

Well now deployed and air defense systems in Idlib. In fact, these are the same stingers. But on a stable platform. With a range finder. With multimode station having TPV.

  The effectiveness of this miracle, in comparison with a portable "stinger", raises questions.
  A missile with an infrared seeker does not need a stabilized launch platform; MANPADS also have a thermal imager. At the same time, the vulnerability of the m113-based air defense system is noticeably higher than the arrow with the pipe on the shoulder, which you still have to go find.

    MANPADS from the shoulder still has a number of limitations. Both by mass launch, and by visual capture (you need to find the target with your eyes, point it at the pens). Well and in range. TPV is at exhibitions, and on the ground they shoot from a mechanical sight, right there in the package is a high-quality TPV.
    
    Well, that is - it will allow:
    - It is better to detect aircraft earlier.
    - correctly calculate the moment of launch, when the rocket will have the opportunity to get it.
    - work effectively at night.
    
    About to destroy. Campaign now has some prohibition of work in the Turks. The intensity of strikes in Sarakib and on the outskirts in the last 2 days went almost to 0.

  Because the Turks. Yesterday, Poddubny made a video that the Turks from their surrounded observation post burned a Syrian tank, which was trying to thwart a counterattack on the village. And they don’t have anything for it, or rather, the Syrians let a convoy of food and new anti-tank missiles go to them.
