All I could find was that this is not 100% SA-2 work, but maybe a IR missile. SU-27 was intercepting a pair of SU-25, last report from the pilot is that he cannot find the target and start gaining altitude (last reported one - 800 meters).

Su-27 was shot down near Suhumi(about 8 km from it - vilage Odishi/Shroma?). If we found some info about SA-2 positions in this area, we could found is it true or not... Also, pictures from the wreckage...

And "Dvina" was out of service at this time, should be "Volkhov"
