Is there any way you can manually gently caress up to the point where the missile does not detach from the handheld-/shoulder-mount piece, or is that a clear equipment failure?

I would hope not, unless there's like a screw on cap on the front of the tube they forgot to take off. I'd be surprised if we have anyone here that's familiar with launching IGLAs though.

People in another thread said its probably a failure of the folding fins.

MikeCrotch posted:People in another thread said its probably a failure of the folding fins. zharmad posted:The Igla doesn't have a warhead per se. It's a contained unit. It goes from the front: Guidance Package---Munition----Flight Motor----Launch Motor, they're not intended to separate during flight. It looks to me like the entire missile assembly got hung up in the launch tube which means there's a live warhead in the tube that is flying around. The missile frees itself when pointed at the ground to the left and flies off to the right, about 180 degrees away from where it was aimed. The launch motor failed to separate the missile from the tube. Probably an issue with the folding fins on the missile.

I had a quick look and couldn't find any information - do the iglas have a minimum arming distance, like I believe that most western nation anti-tank and anti-air missiles have?

My gut instinct given what little I know about Russian military hardware strongly tells me "no".

It's upsetting how often mortars and shoulder fired rockets seem to fail. I had a glock explode in my hands once and that was pretty terrifying despite not getting a scratch on me, I want nothing to do with ordinance.

Some footage from today's Azerbaijan-Armenia conflict. https://twitter.com/301_AD/status/1310116033831858176 I believe the tanks here are finding a minefield. https://twitter.com/301_AD/status/1310146656936091648?s=20 Its a pro-Armenian account so who knows. And an Azer video of them bombing SAM sites. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S9IMCdI_Jlg RaffyTaffy fucked around with this message at 12:41 on Sep 27, 2020 |

The drones are too small and stealthy to get picked up on some radar systems. It's the same problem as all those exploding Pantsir videos from a few months ago that the Turks posted. I am speculating.

Good to know that the radar can track biplanes, if nothing else. These crops will remain pesticide-free you motherfucker.

AN-2s have been shot down with rifles, so it didn't necessary need to be a SAM.

I would expect it to be bullshit or AAA rather than something like an SA-8. It could be, though.

Was looking up info on those drones, and according to wikipedia they manufacture them in Azerbaijan, so there's a pretty much endless supply of those.

Gonna say most of that damage was during landing and not before or they probably wouldn't have made it down safely.
