An-26 shot down 14 July

Post by hammarö »

Pictures from the shot down of An-26 the 14 July. Although some days before the Malaysian shot down.

The pictures shows the missile with a glowing head (missile) and smoke trail going against the An-26.

The cameraman says it must not be a MANPAD, since the plotted range of shooting gives a larger SAM.

There is also some discussion of the place of the aircraft position during shotdown and the missile shot out. The information on other sources also says the An-26 going on much high high, much more than a MANPAD can manage. I don´t dig further since I have get my information.

There is is also some discussion of no smoke from the An-26!!
