Pretty interesting video, modern jet fighters employing their guns on ground targets, outside of the A10, aren't as common as ww2 videos of prop planes doing the same, and it's even more rare with Russian made or x Soviet fighters. I have one video of the SU27 shooting down an airborne drone target with cannon, and it's pretty impressive. While this video doesn't show much in the way of the results, it's a very rare and interesting perspective to say the least. I guess the quick prayer to Allah worked for the camera man - hah.

Holy cow was that a massive muzzle flash. I've watched both F-16s and A-10s strafe, and AH-64s engage, nothing like that flash. I'd guess we use powder mixes that increase burn without the flash.

Damn :O

Fighting at night.... Say goodbye to night vision for the next 15 minutes....

Seen strafing pretty close up from various aircraft, A10's Apache etc, not seen muzzle flash like that :eek:
I did enjoy the sense that the receivers of said strafing were happily watching the airshow until the last second :rofl
Knew from the outset there was going to be some Allah-bothering in that film at some point :confused:

*ahem*
Modesty and decorum prevent me from commenting further. :D :P
In all seriousness, pretty impressive. The Fulcrum's a nasty plane...and just has a look that screams lethality. It's still no match for the US F-16, but it's pretty impressive nonetheless.

Perhaps the cgi artist overdid the flash a bit ;)

I swear I heard an "allah ackbar" in the same place I may have said "Oh shizit!" :rofl

no more snackbar for them, er ackbar. Or whatever. Nice video though, I'll give the cameraman kudos. :aok
I wonder what kind of ammo was being fired out of that GSh30/1 30mm cannon? I know I wouldn't want to be on the receiving end. A quick search shows a 1500 rpm firing rate, good thing it only carries 100-150 rounds. Wowza.

One thing is One of them must of survived if they could upload the video. Sure would hope he was firing AP instead He ( explosion simular to a hand grenade.)

lol

I saw a vid awhile back of some street fighting in Syria...everytime they (whoever was filming it) came under fire they would yell Allah Akbar...everytime they shot they would yell it...while they were running from arty rounds they yelled it over and over... :lol I think I would come up with something different if I was them...kinda like yelling Geronimo over and over :)

Muzzle flash from the mig29 pilot's POV: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WXxJTKOhSW4&feature=player_detailpage#t=101 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WXxJTKOhSW4&feature=player_detailpage#t=101)

Nice video PiratPX, that's fantastic. The Mig29 was my favorite fighter through the 80's while growing up reading all I could about Soviet fighters. There is a great video about when a USAF F18 Navy unit went to Germany to train vs the Mig29s, I'll find it, it's on youtube as well. The Navy guys said that with the helmet mounted sight and AA11 Archer the Mig29 was hard to beat in close (The Navy didn't have the HMS and aim9x at the time, which would have negated that huge advantage) in a missile fight, but with guns, it was anybody's game, the F18 being probably the best US/NATO fighter at the time at slow speed fighting. A couple USN guys flew the 2 seat Mig29 the Germans had, and had a lot of great stuff to say about it.

This is one of them, there are a few more parts (6 I think) on the side bar from this video on youtube.

I feel sort of guilty for chuckling.
