Meanwhile in Belarus.

They haven't heard a single beep on their SPOs I guess

 

But let's stop here I guess. :poster_offtopic:

 

I remember seeing the Russian AF (in this very thread I guess) using their unguided rockets on the Su-25 in Georgia, damn those were different angles and altitudes! :pilotfly:

on a less capable plane (compared to the -29, guess that the -27 is the same tractor as the Su-25 in terms of maneuverability)

 

There's no SPO "beeps" for IR guided incoming missiles or optically guided AAA...so you're true here.

As far as I can see they're pounding on a fixed target. That mudmover in the begging of the video is long gone or someplace else. MiG-29 is doing No8 pattern in the sky attacking from both directions indicating there's no AAA/IR threat. Also they don't go too vertical as you can see overcast above obscuring the target area. Instead they do shallow angle approach ~20° down the canyon.

They also work in pair as you usually would in CAS with MiG-29 observing the target area while -27 runs in and vice versa.

I wouldn't call Su-25SM that was used by RUAF over Georgia in '08 less capable than MiG-29A. Sure it's no M2.3 dogfighter but dedicated CAS platform (something the Fulcrum ain't) so you should correct your post to take that statement back.

If I remember well the Syrian Air Force only flies the Mig-23 and no the 27.

Correct, but if you look closely you'll see it's the MiG-23BM which is the export acronym or version of MiG-27.

Slanted nose, Balkon canopy, Kyra laser rangefinder etc...

Oh, didn´t know that, i thougt it was a B.

Good info, thanks for sharing.

MiG-23BM = MiG-27 (not even for export), but SyAF have MiG-23BN, not BM. It was one of first bomber versions, does not have Gh-6-30 and uses old Kh-23 missiles.

And none of those has Kyra. Kyra was only fitted on MiG-27K.
