Smakhtin and the Senior Lieutenant A.S. Volchkov took off from Pushkin airfield in Leningrad Oblast in the vicinity of Luzhsky training range to perform training and demonstration shooting. At 14:47, at an altitude of about 50 meters, at a speed of 200 km\/h, the pilots received permission from the Zapad-2107 exercises command to enter the attack heading and prepare for shooting. At that moment, there was a spontaneous launch of three unguided S-8 aircraft rockets from the wingman machine under command of Senior Lieutenant Volchkov. The fired missiles exploded in close proximity to the audience consisting of military attaches, military industry experts and journalists. Three people were injured by the explosion and fragments. Also two military trucks were damaged.<\/p>\n<p><em>Video # 1 of helicopters approach<\/em><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"978\" height=\"734\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/cod_Mt3lEZk?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><em>Video # 2 of helicopters approach, captured from a different angle<\/em><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"978\" height=\"550\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/jtt9sXpAPv0?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><em>Video # 3 of the consequences<\/em><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"978\" height=\"734\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/dm-mp4RQ86o?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><em>Video # 4 from the helicopter cockpit<\/em><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"978\" height=\"550\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/cYrn_76rMbk?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>After a detailed analysis of the available video materials, volunteers of InformNapalm volunteer intelligence community found that one of the helicopters fired <strong>three missiles,<\/strong> and not one, as reported by many media outlets.

Smakhtin and the Senior Lieutenant A.S. Volchkov took off from Pushkin airfield in Leningrad Oblast in the vicinity of Luzhsky training range to perform training and demonstration shooting. At 14:47, at an altitude of about 50 meters, at a speed of 200 km\/h, the pilots received permission from the Zapad-2107 exercises command to enter the attack heading and prepare for shooting. At that moment, there was a spontaneous launch of three unguided S-8 aircraft rockets from the wingman machine under command of Senior Lieutenant Volchkov. The fired missiles exploded in close proximity to the audience consisting of military attaches, military industry experts and journalists. Three people were injured by the explosion and fragments. Also two military trucks were damaged.\r\n\r\n<em>Video # 1 of helicopters approach<\/em>\r\n\r\nhttps:\/\/youtu.be\/cod_Mt3lEZk\r\n\r\n<em>Video # 2 of helicopters approach, captured from a different angle<\/em>\r\n\r\nhttps:\/\/youtu.be\/jtt9sXpAPv0\r\n\r\n<em>Video # 3 of the consequences<\/em>\r\n\r\nhttps:\/\/youtu.be\/dm-mp4RQ86o\r\n\r\n<em>Video # 4 from the helicopter cockpit<\/em>\r\n\r\nhttps:\/\/youtu.be\/cYrn_76rMbk\r\n\r\nAfter a detailed analysis of the available video materials, volunteers of InformNapalm volunteer intelligence community found that one of the helicopters fired <strong>three missiles,<\/strong> and not one, as reported by many media outlets. One of the damaged trucks was identified as the UAV control vehicle of the <strong>RB-341V Leer-3<\/strong> system (airborne GSM jammer system). The following equipment was also caught on camera: transport containers for Orlan-10 drones, P-230T unified command vehicle, P-260T Redut-2US control and communication system.\r\n\r\n<em>Click on the photo to enlarge it.<\/em>\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/informnapalm.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2017\/09\/Screenshot_2017-09-19_19-35-58.png\"><img class=\"alignnone wp-image-11916\" src=\"https:\/\/informnapalm.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2017\/09\/Screenshot_2017-09-19_19-35-58-300x182.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"236\" height=\"147\" \/><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/informnapalm.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2017\/09\/21875513_1926248744308717_1761094814_o.png\"><img class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-11918\" src=\"https:\/\/informnapalm.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2017\/09\/21875513_1926248744308717_1761094814_o-300x142.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"142\" \/><\/a>\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/informnapalm.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2017\/09\/21875774_1926249014308690_2045291483_o.png\"><img class=\"alignnone wp-image-11920\" src=\"https:\/\/informnapalm.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2017\/09\/21875774_1926249014308690_2045291483_o-300x169.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"234\" height=\"138\" \/><\/a><img class=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/informnapalm.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/21845796_1926249874308604_915897806_o.png\" width=\"312\" height=\"136\" \/>\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/informnapalm.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2017\/09\/21875981_1926278027639122_2126385341_o.png\"><img class=\"alignnone wp-image-11923\" src=\"https:\/\/informnapalm.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2017\/09\/21875981_1926278027639122_2126385341_o-300x224.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"233\" height=\"176\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/informnapalm.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2017\/09\/21868057_1926278230972435_1012244650_o.png\"><img class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-11924\" src=\"https:\/\/informnapalm.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2017\/09\/21868057_1926278230972435_1012244650_o-300x145.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"145\" \/><\/a>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><a href=\"https:\/\/informnapalm.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2016\/08\/InformNapalm_logo_05.png\"><img class=\" wp-image-8997 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/informnapalm.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2016\/08\/InformNapalm_logo_05.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"146\" height=\"64\" \/><\/a><strong><em>An active link to the authors and our project is obligatory for any reprint or further public use of the material.<\/em><\/strong><em>\r\n<\/em><em>(<\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by\/4.0\/\"><em>Creative Commons \u2014 Attribution 4.0 International \u2014 CC BY 4.0<\/em><\/a><em>)<\/em><em>\r\n<\/em><strong><em>Repost and\u00a0share with friends.<\/em><\/strong><em>\r\n<\/em><em>For notifications about InformNapalm investigations follow us on\u00a0<\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/informnapalm24\/\">Facebook<\/a>,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/InformNapalm\">Twitter<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/t.me\/informnapalm\">Telegram<\/a>.<\/p>\r\n&nbsp;","amp_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/informnapalm.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11913","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/informnapalm.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/informnapalm.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/informnapalm.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/106"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/informnapalm.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=11913"}],"version-history":[{"count":7,"href":"https:\/\/informnapalm.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11913\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":11927,"href":"https:\/\/informnapalm.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11913\/revisions\/11927"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/informnapalm.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/11915"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/informnapalm.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=11913"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/informnapalm.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=11913"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/informnapalm.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=11913"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
