    MiG-25 versus Predator

    It was a Predator equipped with Stingers in the Southern No Fly Zone. The MiG-25 fired an AAM at the Predator. Before being shot down the Predator launched a Stinger.

    When did this occur???

    Croation Helo Air Combat??

    Anyone have information on these air combat events?

    24 August 1990, 2 JNA combat aircraft allegedly intercept a Croatian police helicopter trying to disperse a crowd near Knin (???).

    31 December 1993, Croatian Defense Council (HVO) reported that at 2055, a NATO jet fighter fired two short bursts at one of their helicopters on a filed medevac flight to Nova Bila. The helicopter was not hit, but returned to its base without completing the medevac.

    Thanks!

    I don’t think you will see any Raptor vs Flanker engagements anytime soon…………..too bad!

    And how do we know the F-22 was not lurking around to see if the Flankers noticed any “others” in the area?

    During May 1982 a Mirage F1-AZ destroyed a Mi-8 on the ground. It was not shot down.

    Do you have the actual date and location of this event, name of the losing unit, etc.! I’d like the full story.

    Thanks!

    Mi-8 Bulgarian Civ Helo Iraq 4.21.05

    Mi-8?, What Mi-8?

    See Images of the Mi-8 Bulgarian Civ Helo shot down in Iraq 4.21.05. There is still a video floating around. So the feelings are they there are few if any MANPATS available for use against US helos in Iraq!?! Go for the hovering helo with a RPG!!

    No IR Suppressors

    civil unmarked Bell 412SP and MD500E

    With all the SA-7/14/18 and Stingers around, one would think these helos would have mount flares and IR suppressors. Or will they end up like the civilian Mi-8 did???

    This a Mi-24 shot down on 6th October 1995 over former Yugoslavia

    Do you have the story on this shoot down?? What happened to the crew? It looks like one of the blades came close to the canopy. And the a/c is laying on the co-pilot’s door without any evidence of egress.
