Frames presented attempting to bring down an American transport aircraft C-130 Hercules

A video was published on the network that demonstrates an attempt to attack a military transporter from the ground. This is a U.S. Air Force C-130 Hercules aircraft. According to recent reports, an attack on the transport side was carried out in Afghanistan.

In the publication, The Drive indicates that the militants attempted to shoot down an American military transport aircraft using a grenade launcher. Moreover, the same publication claims that it is an RPG-7 manual anti-tank grenade launcher. Although experts doubted that a grenade launcher shot was represented on the frames.

Everything that happened was photographed with the help of a video camera the American drone MQ-9 Reaper, which was at that time in the air. The video shows a parachute dropping cargo from the side of an American transporter, which lowered its height to complete this discharge. At this moment, an attack attempt was carried out, carried out from one of the buildings in the area of ​​the military facility, for which the cargo was intended.

Ammunition released passed the aircraft, however, in the immediate vicinity of the cargo dropped from the side. At least visually, you can perceive that way.

The material indicates that in the end, none of the US military was injured. At the same time, the operator of the reconnaissance and strike drone carried out a rocket attack on the very position from which the ammunition was fired.

The Yankees themselves, and staged a provocation against their aircraft. In order not to withdraw from there their military occupiers! A makeshift missile, without a homing head, is a pure inertial, only a standing airplane can be knocked out like that!

In Chechnya, they hit a maneuvering helicopter.
And here, from a distance of about a dozen wingspan of this aircraft did not hit.
What a big plane.
They shot at all with a VERY SMALL WARNING - a rocket flies into several corps behind the aircraft.
Those who fight and survived in Afghanistan cannot be so "green".
Conclusion - production video

[Pete mitchell]

Everything can be, but

Quote: Shurik70

distances of about a dozen wingspan of this aircraft did not fall. What a big plane.

So at a vantage point from what distance did they shoot? Maybe the shooter is not very experienced or something. The luck of one is the failure of others

[Shurik70]

S-130 wingspan is about 40 meters. So, they shot somewhere from 400-420 meters.
The cruising speed of 628 km / h is 175 m / s
RPG-7 shot speed 112-145 m / s
That is, the lead had to take about 12 aircraft corps. And the lead in one case was taken.
Such squinting fighters cannot survive in Afghanistan.

The distance from the aircraft to the launch of the rocket is by eye the size of the aircraft.
The size of the plane is on Wikipedia.
Multiply one digit by another - at school I once learned ...

[Liam]

And at school you weren’t taught that the plane and the arrow have different heights above the ground and different distances from the drone, so visually without taking into account these and many other things, it’s better not to determine anything?) And it can turn out like with one famous Boeing -777 and Su- 27 over Donbas, where due to ignorance of these moments the Boeing turned out to be the size of a couple of stadiums)

[Shurik70]

By the way, yes. The airplane is not visible at all in the video, only its shadow is visible (the distance from the shadow to the arrow is about 420 m). But the flight of the rocket is clearly visible.
Conclusion - THE ARROW AIMED BELOW THE AIRCRAFT !!!

[Liam]

Whoever writes here about "Lucky Airplane" has not the slightest idea about physics or mathematics or about other simple matters that are taught in schools. The probability of hitting a single shot from the ground, by eye, and even from this weapon on a flying plane, taking into account speeds and positions in space below zero. Or 1 in many millions.
During the 2nd World War, one plane to get into another burst of several cannons / machine guns with a huge rate of fire and an incomparably higher initial ammunition speed than RPGs had to approach 50/100 meters

Whoever writes here about "The plane was lucky" does not have the slightest idea of ​​either physics or mathematics.

Are you sure that you have a level of knowledge to evaluate my level of knowledge and skills? You need to be more modest. For example, specialists in this field taught me theories of shooting at air targets, some with decent experience. Everything was in order with practice too.
Lucky, because the Afghans are mostly excellent shooters. If this one shot at an airplane, then practice let us down.
You control yourself, sometimes it’s better not to advertise the ability to google everything.

[Liam]

I don’t know who taught you what, but the results of studies are lower than the baseboard. Name the video that was lucky — the nonsense plane at the level — I’m lucky that today the meteorite did not fall on my head. In probability, these are events of a comparable order

[Pete mitchell]

I see that you have not even been taught to communicate in life. Do mercy - go through, read a book, do something useful for yourself

[Lopatov]

Quote: Pete Mitchell

Lucky, because the Afghans are mostly excellent shooters.

Rather, great tactics, a few shooters and different lead-ins contribute to the hit.
And here it doesn’t look like that.

[bk316]

The probability of a single shot from the ground, through the peephole, and even from this weapon on a flying plane, taking into account speeds and position in space below zero.

Right below?

[sedoj]

Maybe it would be better like this?

[da Vinci]

Recalled from classic

[Demon_is_ada]

Back in the "school of life" they explain that an RPG shot does not shoot tracers which are perfectly visible on the video ... yeah ...

[Pete mitchell]

You are strict, but when everyone studies, amers were lucky this time

[Mountain shooter]

Quote: Shurik70

The cruising speed of 628 km / h is 175 m / s
RPG-7 shot speed 112-145 m / s

Cruise shipments are not dumped. Rather, the speed of the aircraft is worth it. And the drop height is unknown, and this greatly reduces the chances of getting in, due to the reduction of the grenade at a distance. Plus the speed of the grenade is variable in distance. From LNG-9 there would be more chances to get there.

[Cruel beaver]

In any case, it’s a pity that they didn’t hit .....

[orionvitt]

Quote: Shurik70

The cruising speed of 628 km / h is 175 m /

Who is dropping the cargo, close to the ground, even at cruising speed? The speed was minimal, a little more than takeoff speed, 300-350 km / h. In addition, the video clearly shows that they fired without any pre-emption at all. when firing from a grenade launcher, they make a mandatory amendment even for the wind, but here it is stupid to "finger to the sky." You can treat the Afghan mujahideen as you like, but they are experienced fighters. And yet, what and to whom did the Americans throw off there? Obviously, they won't tell us.

Quote: Pete Mitchell

e.g. Mi-26 in Chechnya

They were shot down by MANPADS. Bought in Georgia.

[Pete mitchell]

If I’m not mistaken, one -26 was shot down after taking off precisely from the RPG: the largest losses at a time

[Pete mitchell]

Confuse, I apologize for the mistake, they shot down -8ku from the RPG during the first war.

[Lopatov]

Quote: Pete Mitchell

biggest losses at a time

MANPADS, And losses due to the minefield, which forced to land

[smile]

Pete mitchell
Hello.
Sorry, that Mi 26 was not shot down from a grenade launcher. There exactly MANPADS.
There was one episode in Dagestan - 1999 - PTRK - but the helicopter either managed to land, or it was taken off at an approach landing at minimum speed.
The Czechs made a video. There, one of the senior officers died. This is when Karamahi. Botlikh, Tsumadinsky district ...... I don’t remember the details anymore.
There were rumors about the shot down with the help of RPGs in the First War, but I’m not sure that it’s true - there were such rumors that .... :)))))

[Pete mitchell]

Good morning, I apologize for the embarrassment - 26 was shot down by MANPADS. In '94 -96 two -8s were shot down from RPGs. I have classmates who transferred to helicopters there from the first day.
Once again - not from evil, a mistake crept in. Good day

[smile]

Pete mitchell
Apologies are not accepted, since you have no reason to apologize.
Absolutely.
And there was no embarrassment. I did not notice. anyway.
And on the topic, I clearly know less than you, because I walked the earth. And it’s hard to even suspect me of involvement in aviators or air defense experts :))))
Inaccuracies, errors happen to everyone. And I also have them more often than I would like. So nothing bad happened.
And, damn it. I could not even imagine that you wrote anything from evil ... with a fig, the bathhouse burned down .... :)))))
Pancake. I even became uncomfortable. that I blurted out, and you apologize .... I repeat - there is no need to apologize to you.
Okay. bye.
By the way - judging by the desire - you have - morning ... and I have - 2.24 nights - I'm in Kaliningrad. So. what - hello - to the Far East from the westernmost point of the Russian Federation. :))))

[Pete mitchell]

Good morning, late yesterday, quarantined all rhythms clean, so I was surprised to see your comment so late - hello to Kaliningrad.
Most Afghans are good shooters: if this one shot at an airplane, then he has not learned yet.
Champions on any Americans - they managed to bring down a flying UAB helicopter ..

[YOUR]

What lucky there. You carefully look at the frames. The missile goes straight forward, without any control. Dolbanuli some unguided projectile. No control is visible. And in general, judging by the torch, some kind of homemade work.

[Lipchanin]

Far from being a fact. They fired into the plane with what was at hand. As in the song by A. Apina - "I slapped into it from what was." Yes, they quickly faded away. Their usual tactics.

[Liam]

Quote: Rich

Yes, quickly faded

Judging by the video, they did not manage to fade

[Mikhail3]

Read a little about how the Americans guard their bases and airfields. They know how to fight badly, but to hide ... "Accidentally" to be in the range of infantry weapons of American planes taking off is fantastic. This is possible only with a well-prepared, planned, carried out by experienced warriors operation. And in such conditions to sculpt "from what was" with just anyone's hands? Hehe ... This is a provocation.

[Maz]

Fake. minimum height of cargo discharge so that the parachute opens, plus the speed of the aircraft about 400 km per hour, a shot without any lead. Some kind of nonsense crazy, designed for an untrained audience

[YOUR]

It looks like some kind of computer toy. At what height was the drone to consider the S-130 barge to look so tiny, while a shot from a grenade launcher looks like launching a large anti-aircraft missile. The intermittent torch of the shot is also embarrassing, as rockets often look in toys.
I do not presume to assert anything, but doubts about the veracity are very big.

[smart ass]

I missed a bit, about 400 meters, the Taliban skipped fire training

[Grigory_45]

Quote: Thrifty

Homemade missile, without homing, pure inertial

what inertial ?! The RPG grenade generally has no guidance equipment, it flies along a ballistic trajectory.

[vkl.47]

Sounds like an American drone ad.

[Pete mitchell]

One word - lucky

[Liam]

Come on. At what height did the airplane drop the parachute load and what was the height of the grenade?

[Pete mitchell]

Quote: Pete Mitchell

[NF68]

Our lard and yes to us in the wort. Well done Americans. Soon there will not be a dozen countries on the planet that would not hate you.

[Swordserg]

Ummm ... what does this video have to do with us? You seem to have beguiled the coast? And what is it we are to blame for being hated? Is it that we have 100 times less deaths from coronavirus? Or the fact that we manage to help instead of "requisitioning" planes with medical supplies and bandages from our allies? You are saying something wrong.

[Lord of the Sith]

If there was "Needle" and a competent shooter, he could have shot down. That would be a scandal))

[Old partisan]

On the needle, as far as I remember, the heat head and getting to this slowly flying target is not particularly problematic

[Rzzz]

Hit - yes, knock down is not particularly likely. MANPADS have a small charge, and this is a large eraplan, with a minimum of electronics and with four motors. Damaged, but will fly further likely.

[Lipchanin]

Ammunition released passed the aircraft, however, in the immediate vicinity of the cargo dropped from the side

Yes, it looks like they shot at the load. It can be seen that the shot was fired after the board passed the line of fire

[75 Sergey]

Some RPG flew far .... I doubt it, and the Americans did everything right.

They would have done right if they had dumped from all their bases in their America and allowed the world to live and develop peacefully in accordance with its own rules, laws and traditions.

Those. will let everything drift?

[Tusv]

"Come out one on one, we will not beat you on takeoff - Maestro" With RPG-7, Hercules can only be beaten during takeoff and landing, the rest is a PR super duper Hercules. Like Soviet missiles don't take it. The question is. Why did Tram put his signature on the agreement with the Taliban? So that his pepelatsy tried to soak with the RPG-7?
I tell you. We do not need to choose their prezik. We need to choose their congress

It was the N-th day of self-isolation. In the morning, people went to the refrigerator, took out potions and inoculated all day. By evening, he was completely neglected!
No offense! Himself so!

Inoculation - (lat. Inoculatio vaccination)

1) the introduction of pathogens of infectious diseases or vaccines in human or animal tissue;

2) in parasitology - the introduction of insects and ticks of pathogens into the blood of humans or animals during bloodsucking.

[Nyrobsky]

Quote: Tusv

The question is. What for did Tram sign his agreement with the Taliban? So that his pepelats tried to wet with RPG-7?

There is also the ISIS riffraff, who understands that with the release of the mattresses the Taliban will deal with them closely, and therefore have a great interest in disrupting the agreements. The officials of the "Kabulis" also have the same interest, who also understand that the Taliban will not be alarmed with them and will wrest power in Kabul as soon as the last American plane disappears over the horizon. So there are those who need this provocation in order to shift the responsibility onto the Taliban.

[APASUS]

Although a missile flight is similar to an RPG-7 charge flight, the launch itself is not the same! In RPG-7, the main flare is not forward, but backward and looks as if with a gap into two parts.

[Cat]

I have the impression that they didn’t shoot at all at the plane, but at the load or another target.

[Cananecat]

If you look carefully, the firing is not on the plane, but on the dropped cargo. And I must say the shot passes a few meters. Which is good enough for a shooter. There were no goals to hit the plane.

[aszzz888]

A small endured made arrows. Or didn’t want to shoot down at all.

[Avior]

Or shot at a load, and the plane was too high for the grenade launcher

[About 2]

After the Mujahideen refused to return the Stingers allocated once by the US government, it looks really strange. Americans gave 80 thousand bucks for each MANPADS.

[Jarserge]

It is necessary to take anticipation, it is completely absent in the video. It is quite possible to hit such a "cow", there were precedents.

[Maks-80]

It’s a pity that they missed

[tech3030]

I would definitely not regret it.

It's time for mattresses to master the "Afghan" takeoff and landing.
