This particulare incident took place in the first day of the Yom Kippur War-6 October 1973.
A pair of F-4E attacked a large formation of Egyptian Mi-8’s carrying Egyptian Commandos over sinai (I think it was near Ras Sudar).
As dan said,at least one of them was shot down using the afterburner thrust(I’m not familiar with another such case…)

This incident is fairly well doumented.

That is why I was querying the data, as I had not seen the reported second after-burner events nor the reported 18 Hips of which 4 escaped.

Looking for more data and clarity.

Cobra versus Hind

The Hind was a Czechoslovak one (crew Toth, Horak, Melisek) and the incident took place on Sep-12-1985. The information about Hind’s rotor hitting cockpit or about the AH-1 being the cause of the crash is false.

The Hind crashed after uncontrollable spiral (descent speed 3 m/s) following an unsuccessful attempt to enter a hovering mode caused by an unlucky combination of high altitude and lee side of the mountain. Interestingly enough, another Hind (crew Kackovic, Striz) sent to the area an hour later experienced exactly the same problem, falling into spiral with descent speed even greater than the first one. The only reason of its recovery was the fact that the heading of the second Hind allowed to dive the machine into a nearby valley.

No shotdown, just an accident. More details and pictures here.

Folks,

These are two different events, to wit:

16 June 1983, while patrolling the East German border near Kassel, a Soviet piloted Mi-24 Hind-D crashed and exploded trying to mirror maneuvers being performed by an U.S. Army 11th ACR, AH-1S Cobra (Giovanni de Briganti, “Border Patrol: On The Frontier With The U.S. Army In West Germany”, Rotor & Wing International, Nov. 1985, pp. 59-60; “Military Flight Safety 1983”, Flight International, 24 March 1984, p. 753; “Hinds on the border”, Defense Hoverview, Defense Helicopter World, Aug./Sept. 1986, p. ??; World Air Power Journal, Volume 37, Summer 1999,pp. 51-52).

These are actual images of the Hind before it crashed from the Cobra crew and post crash image of the crash site.

What is CHIPRE?

What is CHIPRE?

Of course it is taken in Syria. It’s written under the picture “Syria, 2008”, just that nobody read it, instead preferring to launch speculations.
Besides, it wouldn’t make any sense for the Syrians to send their old Mi-8s to Ukraine just to be trashed and left to root – they can do that at home, cheaper :diablo:

Any idea what air base these Hip are located??
