Ah Tower Can you have a clean pair of shorts on standby for me? Nice shot!

Nice shot,

Cheers

Holy crap. Guess the hit detection on Black Shark must be really accurate.

You canīt possible get ANY CLOSER than that.

DA-nang, I just checked an online dictionary and under the word: LUCK Iīve found that picture!

Wow great capture

LOL...that was indeed close. I've had a few of those myself.

Great shot! wow!

Hehe, it is certainly fortunate that most ATGMs have impact fuses only. Although it can happen even with a proximity-fused AAM:




I fired this R-73 just outside minimum range, but apparently closure was such that the fuse did not arm in time (old Flanker 2.51 screenshot).

Luck be with you!

lol, awesome pic!

In defense of my ATGM brothers: Winding and grinding six kilometers of heavy duty guidance wire into your rotor would have messed you up.

The TOW also doesn't leave a smoke trail whatsoever. The rear rocket is only there to get it out of the tube and more like the charge of a cannon (and sounds like it too), after that, the 'diagonally' facing rockets in the mid-section fire for another three seconds or so (I forget the exact numbers, it's been too long), then it's a glider for the rest of the ride.

Hey, we're talking about Black Shark here. We're supposed to nit-pick.
