Found this over on the Fighterops forum. If you look closely you can see some pretty amazing missile maneuvering:

Would you post direct link to the file?

Link worked before. I've seen it.

Something's wrong with the webpage..I can't read a thing.

dodger42 · 08-12-2006, 04:15 PM

Seems they took the page down. Not sure why, will see if I have it cached somewhere.

Chizh · 08-12-2006, 04:16 PM

I can't see any video from this page. And unfortunately I don't know Hebrew.

If you roll over the photos- the matching number (id=1030) will show- you have to go to the 3rd page I think.. The next page button is placed as you might expect to find it- other than it being bass-ackwards.

This might be a better link- it seems to be direct- and opens it as such.

The only funny thing in this story (in a situation where nothing is funny, because it's real war out there!) is that the enemies of the "West", of the "Capitalists" and "Zionists", have their own "brand" (it's not just an insignia) and it's also translated in "enemy" 's language. If they weren't killing people that'd be quite ludicrous.

why putting a "islamic resistance" logo on a drone which should slip undetected over Israeli skies?

please no flame, I've just expressed a personal opinion...

Cool remark, I have a strong opinion about this situation, but eh, as you can see beneath my avatar (Bender Bending Rodriguez

), and the futility of such discussions, I will refrain from writing it down, I suggest everyone does the same thing.

I don't quite understand what I see there so I will write down what I think happened: the big white flame in the beginning is the F-16, the little, almost 'cold' object to the left of the F-16 (viewing from the pilot's perspective) is the "evil" drone, so the F-16 fires a Python/AIM-9 at a high off-bore angle, something like 60/70 degrees, and the missile (the little bright white thing) hits the drone, after which the F-16 pops some flares.

Guess the pilot wanted to test off-bore performance in real life situations, and did not want to slow down and use the M-61.

EDIT: Saw my 1337 post count, thanks, didn't notice it

Okay, I will continue editing this post until I grow tired of the 1337 post count, that is so great, yaay.
