Russian Aircraft Losses in the 2008 Georgian War, Part 1 

One of the Su-25 was landed in airfield after being hit by Igla. It's left engine was damaged and flew on the right.

Great creative format using DCS to reenact modern conflicts. We see these machines showcased at airshows all over the world but many don't realize how many air engagements and casualties occurred since ww2 in modern conflicts.

When both sides shared the very same weapons, same tactics it turned immidiately to an icredible mess no wonder there was some friendly fire incident! another fantastic job Showtime 112 can't wait to see the next part!

This is an incredibly underrated channel. Thank you for your work!

Look at you, Mr. Combined Arms. Well done. I do believe this will be a "must have" module as I have been a big fan of it since I started playing DCS World. Like I told you before, hit a bros if you need a trigger man. Another thing: extra points for using the regular Frogfoot! I hate that "T" version, I don't care if it carries a wider array of armament. I'm old school all the way. 10 /10. Jolly good show, mate. Be well.

Top notch, as usual. Keep up the great work!

You know a game has good graphics when it simulates a scene that actually has live video made of it, and you can't tell that the live video isn't still part of the game.

Look at that great cockpit of Su-25! Great video.

Excellent overview.

There's a very interesting clip of a Russian MIG-29 shooting down a Georgian drone on youtube. Rare as the drone captured the flight of the incoming missile until it was destroyed. Also some pics out there of the Russians taking US Humvees that were due to be shipped back to the US after a joint exercise, and pics of them destroying a large cache of US supplied M-4 rifles the Georgians had. Not taking a side in this- just interesting video and pics to look up if you follow the recent conflict in the region.

Excellent video! Thank you for the hard work. You always point out what really happened is dependant on perspective & neither party is ever completely sure.

These videos are crazy in quality, even if it’s just DCS without much editing. These are awesome!!

That TU22 must have really been blasted by that SAM for only one of four men to survive

When both sides use the same equipment and weapons, mix ups will occur. "Is that one of ours or one of theirs?" "I don't know. Shoot anyway, just in case."

15:50 amazing how the Su-25 can take a MANPAD center mass near the engines and still go on

Thank you, well done and I look forward to more of your Documentaries! Love from New Zealand to the Georgians, and Ukrainians in these times!

Great depiction and commentary. That friendly fire is a recurring problem ….

I didn’t know about a lot of this. Thank you for making these videos.

The TU-22M3 is my Favourite Bomber Plane of all time. My second Favourite is the Tupolev TU-160 (or as designated by NATO-Blackjack). My 3rd Most Favourite Bomber Of all time is the "B-2" Stealth bomber. Bombers are my Most Favourite after the Fighter type Aircrafts(like in e.g . F-15, F-16, Gripen, SU-30 SM, SU-27, SU-57) , Helicopters (Like Apache, MI-24 etc).

This Chanel is in my top 5 favorites!

Really great video

Odlican video, svaka cast.To sto se radnja odvija na stvarnim lokacijama nekako bas doprinosi feelingu. Koju regiju/mapu bi najvise volio da naprave za DCS?

Great content, subscribed!

Good job ;)

Another good one!

It’s scary how easily a super modern, very expensive, airplane can be brought down by a MANPAD. Every mission you have to be thinking … this could be my last.

Ahh what a nice actual informative history! 😎💯

This really shows stealth is important when going on offense, especially against countries with decent Air defence.

The Su-25 is an exceptionally tenacious aircraft... A worthy descendant of IL-2

Outstanding re-enactment. Was it Georgian that was spoken by the ground troops?

Very good, as usual.

Great content :D

the russians attacked not just to protect the ossetians but also their peacekeepers who were under attack by georgian forces...also the fact that both sides used the Su 25 as the main attack aircraft friendly fire was inevitable

Great work,i love your videos man.

Great piece of art and history, man. Great job

Tu-22M is a monstrous aircraft.

Good video I like it 👌

Hello sire, enjoyed another good video of yours if you please consider making a video on batk o longewala

2 things: MANPADS are a really useful weapon, and damn the ossetians really needed an ally-enemy recongnition system.

Very good :-)

Я сам из Росии , вот чего нам не хвотало !!! Этот контент просто должен был когда-то появится на свет божий!

Always great works

The main cause of these losses was lack of ECM. They fixed this and took way less losses in the syrian campaign

Nice!

How does one define "heavy losses" in this type of war?

I remember when this happened and seeing Georgian artillery falling on residential neighborhoods in Tshkinvalli.

Good video to help recall this conflict on this region. I remember when it first occurred.☯️🎩♠️🏁

Are we gonna be seeing some chopper videos in the future?

You should have mentioned that the georgian troops in August 2008 not only attacked South Ossetia but also attacked the russian peacekeeping forces. This is a direct casus belli. But you didn't do it

Great video. I don't t remember if it was 5 days or one week untill entire Georgian army was defeated and the Russian troops were at the doors of the capital. Please remind me.

Odličan video. Kraj je više jurišnim zrakoplovima. Dva drona bi prvu kolonu izbrisala da ih nitko ni ne vidi.

Can you do the aircraft losses of Cenepa war?

Any countermeasure against MANPAD? I know flare, what else?

Wasn't recon Tu-22MR downed in this case?

Beautyfull attack...null tank demage one plane.. :D fast ground attack and low altitude! Thats the key

Pozz, koliko DLC-ova imaš u DCS-u?

wow.. a 3 for 1 episode!

So watching few of your Russians in Georgia videos one can only come to conclude that Russians shot more of their own warplanes then their enemies did? Nice to know.

South Ossetian just trying their best "Get's second friendly fire"

Do Chechnya war losses next. You'll need Su-25, Su-24 and Mi-24 for the videos. Also Iran F-14 vs Iraqi fighters during persian war

I love these vids... I would love to see a Russian aircraft loses of Chechnya 94 or at least during the battle of Grozny

Aircraft losses go brrrr

I have always likened the Georgian war with Russia, to Manuel Noriega's attack on US forces in the Panama Canal Zone: the act of madmen, or fools. In any case, I did not know that Georgian anti-aircraft forces had performed as well as this. It seems like a rather high aircraft loss rate for the Russians, for a 2-3 day war with an inconsequential neighbor. I wonder what kind of losses the Russians might encounter in Ukraine, if Putin orders an invasion. Certainly the Russian Army will prevail, but how will the Russian Air Force perform in the face of an almost certainly stronger Ukrainian air defense network?

শুধু মাত্র রাশিয়ান প্লেন ই ক্র্যাশ হয় সটডাউন হয় ডিটিএস এ। খুব ভালো।

Friendly fire, isn't....Also, Néver fly with someone braver than yourself.!

I was in Iraq when this happened. I was coming back to Iraq from leave. I saw some delta guys getting ready to get on the aircraft. They were wearing different camo patterns. I said they are going somewhere different. One of them smiled at me. I am not saying that it is where they were going. It seemed very odd DELTA guys who were operating in the desert would be wearing a woodland camo.

the words "russian" and "peace keeping" toghether give me a funny feeling

edit : Moscow Aircraft Losses in the 2008 Moscow colonial War against Georgian state, Part 1

You forget to mention that giorgia attacked the russian peace keepers that were keeping the sides apart.. these guys suffered heavy losses as they were only lightly armed..

Idk

Well the Russian JTAC certainly needs some procedural training, and so does their MANPAD avoidance tactics...

Great video, brother! This war, i believe in 2008? Was relatively unexpected, at least by those who were not closely following the preceding events. *WAR, no matter the euphemisms that the elites attempt to use to describe it to us, (in a petty and insulting manner to usurp our minds ability to fully understand and appreciate the consequences and horrors of it), is a disgusting, unnecessary and very nasty business. I pray one day soon, that those individuals, the real warmongers, shall be forced to lead the infantry from the very front themselves.* [ *INFANT-RY* that literally means *'Child Soldiers'* btw ] In this more simple way, Wars would be very scarce indeed. Imagine for a moment please: Putin, Biden, Merkel, etc. etc. etc. Would be required to get fully kitted up, get their $hitte together... and actually fight one another, and inevitably some would be killed as a result. *Wars would be much more rare, if ever even were sparked off, if the actual beneficiary of it's spoils were at risk of dying in the hot dirt, like we common people are.* [By the way bro, I am not getting any alerts from RU-vid for your videos. Just letting you know. My sub and bell is on, I just happen to be perusing the latest videos of the day and saw your video from 4 days ago. Be well man.] 😎🇺🇸🙏

No way, Tu-22 lost?

Letiš i helikopterima u DCS-u?

Where are NATO USA losses in Yugo'99 war

Georgian soldiers gave hard time to russians

my dad told me he was in war ofc he is georgian one morning when we went outside he saw a russian bomber bombing little villige general told my dad and other soldiers to hide in mud so they did after some time second plane came in they started bombing my dad said they couldn't hear anything bcs it was so loud after some minutes some guys on motorbike came by they were georgians they had rockets they hided for some seconds and started smoking my dad was watching all of this after some time planes came back again so those 2 guys took out rockets BAM and shoot they got one plane pilot survived tho he was coming down by parachute some my dad started shooting them but they were too far so he missed all after they started reloading second plane flew those 2 guy sat in motorbike again and went to location where those pilot fell my dad told me when they find them he had injuries he had hit in leg he was crying after some talking he told my dad and soldiers he was 27 yrs old im not gonna say name from russia idk what happened after that

Now You can see how good Polish “ Grom “ is ,to take Russian planes down.

The Russian military is busy from the break up of the Soviet Union fighting Chechen, Dagestan, Georgia, Kazakhstan and Ukraine protecting within there region of influence, NATO is doing in the Ukraine, the same thing has the British Empire, France, Sardinia Italian and Ottoman Empire 1853-1856.

Animation narrating is far away of reality!

And better yet , more F/A-18s have fallen out of the sky 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Shootdown by missile made in Israel or Rusia.

50% of losses to friendly fire (!!!)

juegos de gerra se acaba flora y fauna

😊

A koliko li će tek u Ukrajini da imaju gubitka?

Viva ukrine

Ха,ха,ха! Нещастници!

Still nowhere near as many US aircraft that were shot down by the Vietnamese 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

In this war Russians get objetives without an effort. Georgia loose and OTAN get humiliated. And in Ukraine is the same.
