        It depends on which scoring system you use. If German during the Second World War, then they shot down, shot down, destroyed ... hundreds were counted winked

          Oh, everything was embellished there. They smoked and went down was considered shot down, we sometimes recorded ace group targets, where the devil himself does not make out whose turn was shot down - it is necessary to raise the prestige of the squadron.
          The time was not the most technologically advanced - it was impossible to accurately track each plane, whether it was shot down accurately or reached home.
          At the Amers, one guy was credited with 3 aircraft carriers, although it is still unknown from whose specific bomb the ships got sick, and whose hit he could survive - the whole group threw it.

            Do not confuse group victory and individual victory. In the USSR, this was clearly distinguished.
            And yet, you won’t believe it, but in those days there was already a photo gun.

          The uniqueness of the lieutenant general, in terms of emotional impenetrability, is simply fantastic.
          If you turn off the sound, you might think that he is reading for a long time ... prayers from the Bible winked

      And what, besides the statements that they shot down, there is no material evidence? Or do we have a ban on photo and video recording in our army?
      In addition, the helicopter is a very difficult target for the AI. It was possible to conduct joint exercises with them until you rise 200 meters above the terrain, they don’t see you.

      Especially for the "specially gifted". to-rye here they say that the Sumerian Air Force has already destroyed several times. Here's the news for you:
      "Macedonia handed over to Ukraine 4 pieces of Su-25, 30 pieces of T-72A and will transfer 12 pieces of Mi-24.
      The country also supplies artillery, ammunition, etc. " Minister of Defense of the country Slavyanka Petrovska.

        Yes, where are we up to you, cheers for the patriots. Of course, you know better with the sofa, but we in aviation are somehow used to the fact that apart from words, confirmations are required, at least by means of OK.
        And the fact of the transfer of helicopters in itself does not prove anything if the technical condition is unknown.

          Well, well, tell us how the data is written according to the FKP, like a video from the X-29T, it’s very interesting to know, otherwise we don’t know about the bastards.

            Maybe they really are bastards and don’t understand? what It is now 2023, and not the middle of the last century, when the FKP was a mega devay. Time has been digital for a long time and cameras are molded wherever it is not laziness.
            And what, the launch of the Kh-29T itself, the hit, cannot be fixed?
            Although the X-29T can be used on a helicopter only if the crew foolishly climbs into the echelon. And there are no fools either.
            So only work with guns if you're lucky to find it.
            However, in April last year, a pair of Mi-24s of the Armed Forces of Ukraine reached Belgorod, worked at the fuel depot and returned with impunity. And no air defense, no IA did anything at extremely low altitude.

              Hmm, are you sure you're a pilot?
              Today, the FKP are on the Su-25.
              The X-29T on the helicopter is too bold, the helicopter is not worth it.
              The video is written on board in real time, controlled by a joystick.
              Do you even know how to score a program in PNK? Most likely a half-educated student from the 3rd year.

                I am, yes, but who are you, the question is.

                Today, the FKP are on the Su-25.


                They are also on the Mi-24.

                But the relevance of this device has long been lost.
                And the most important question is what prevents aircraft and helicopters from being equipped with modern photo and video equipment? Which does not depend on a limited amount of film, or magnetic tape.
                Even in 1995, we privately used a more advanced technique at that time.


                The X-29T on the helicopter is too bold, the helicopter is not worth it.


                Can you name prices for comparison?

                The video is written on board in real time, controlled by a joystick.


                What are you talking about, but automatic recording does not exist. lol

                Do you even know how to score a program in PNK?


                I have no idea, on my type this was not available. Mine is in photos and videos. laughing

                Most likely a half-educated student from the 3rd year.

                  "Can you name prices for comparison?"
                  According to the representative of the manufacturer, at the time of 1981, the Kh-29T / L cost approximately 7 VAZ-2103.
                  "What are you talking about, but automatic recording does not exist." Recording was in the machine after pressing the trigger.
                  Okay, I'm not interested in dealing with vertibirds.

                    The Mi-8T helicopter in the same years cost more than 800 rubles. Which is "somewhat" more than the cost of seven VAZ-000, given that the cost of these did not exceed 2103 rubles. lol
                    Recording was in the machine after pressing the trigger.


                    And here is the photographic equipment of the sixties?

                    But you yourself are not screw and not winged. lol

                    By the way, I had a funny case in my practice (from unpublished):

                    The dining room in Kołobrzeg was located in the same old building as the hotel. Otherwise, she was no different from the rest of her brothers or, more precisely, sisters. All the same cackling and hastily swallowing food crowd, all the same tired of male attention and flat, on the verge of decency jokes, waitresses.
                    Our small team, as expected, is seated at separate tables for business travelers. The “aviation elite” immediately turns its attention to us, at first slowly, then louder and louder, jokes and jokes mixed with laughter are pouring in our direction. Curiously, if we were here in dress uniform with all the regalia, would you guys be joking? After all, most of you only have “collections” of anniversary ones, but “for sand”. Nevertheless, I, silently, calmly continue to absorb food, the onboard and the commander even look at me with surprise: where did my eloquence go?
                    We had almost finished breakfast, there were a couple of sips of coffee left in my glass, when some, apparently, lieutenant, dropped a witty, in his opinion, but long-weary joke about “pots with bows”. His comrades burst into loud, almost deliberate neighing.
                    Well, guys, do not be offended, they ran into it themselves. I slowly get up, defiantly finish my coffee, lower the glass on the table and, as if in passing, notice:
                    - So what, what are "pans"? But we fly them.
                    The lieutenant did not smell the trick and was almost indignant:
                    - What are we, aren't we?
                    I condescendingly look at the flyer, look around the slightly quiet dining room and, carefully pronouncing each word, I say:
                    - According to the NATO VeVeeS, the MiG twenty-three is an unmanned vehicle.
                    After that, with a calm look, I leave the dining room. There is dead silence behind me. Maybe it was not worth it to “sprinkle salt”, reminiscent of the well-known case with the political officer, but, as they say, they asked for it.
