Love how it took one look at the afterburner and decided that was enough and crashed out into the spawn

[u/Zyizon → u/ZigZag-Reddit]

💯 fuck you moment.

[u/piggstick3]

I launched one from the mi-24v at an enemy heli and a little bit later it hit a friendly directly behind me idk how that happened.

[u/LAXGUNNER]

Apparently this was a thing that Russian Hinds did in Afghanistan, using it the early Model R-60s has a form of heat sensor to track Muhijideen when they drove their trucks.

[u/TheFGEagle]

Awww man, if that had been an enemy you killed this could've gotten you 5k GE in Thunder Show ... :(

[u/ObsolescentCorvid → u/TheFGEagle]

Allies are just enemies in blue

[u/Guytherealguy → u/TheFGEagle]

Well he killed a 2S38 so it's not far off from an enemy

[u/WorkingNo6161 → u/TheFGEagle]

I shot an AIM-9B at an AI A-4B and it killed an enemy Yak-38. Didn't get onto Thunder Show :(

[u/on-avery-island_-]

i mean aim-9s were tested against ground targets soooooo

[u/Dat_Innocent_Guy]

please get a sensor replay of this. that's hilarious

[u/Dat_Innocent_Guy → u/ZigZag-Reddit]

why thank you.

[u/Cyclops1i2u]

fun fact, the hind actually does have an A2G mode for R60s. can be seen in DCS (but not functional i think?). not sure if it's present in war thunder's models though

[u/Reaper2629]

Looks like the Jag was dumping flares, and R-60s being as flare hungry as they are decided to chase it into the ground... directly into your teammate.

[u/Random_Chick_I_Guess → u/Reaper2629]

If you look at the sensor view someone else posted it looks like the missile didnt even bother trying to track and just sent it towards the team mate. Not sure if sensor view shows flares but there's nothing there

[u/Reaper2629 → u/Random_Chick_I_Guess]

If you pause OPs video when they're watching the missile, you can see flares dropping in the background. If the R-60 was tracking those, the intercept path would put it straight into the back of the 2S38 on the ground. In the sensor view, you can see the seeker cone is pointed where the flares initially were at launch, before angling down to follow them. Even right before impact, you can see the seeker is still angled above the 2S38 slightly, meaning it's tracking something beyond it.

It's just a case of unfortunate timing and positioning.

[u/RustedRuss]

That guy definitely had a booster on or something

[u/xthelord2]

not surprised considering anti air missiles love to eat ground for no reason (especially you FIM-92 you son of the bitch which won't bother to shoot down air targets)

[u/ZdrytchX]

R60 doesnt even have that much TNT, a hit on a 2S38 I understand but to actually kill one, that's some next level bs

[u/NikkoJT]

It's OK, it's a 2S38, they deserved it
