100% friendly fire. Suchomimus does a slow-mo on it. It’s hard to tell if the rocket actually hits but it’s either sufficient damage from the jet blast of it going past or the pilot having a panic.
Either way, absolutely top tier fuck up and gives me a chance to post my favourite meme of the war so far yet again…
Those rockets miss, but the plane in front dropped flares just prior, so the pilot may have believed a heat seeking missile was launched.
The wing breaks off at the engine. Was the engine hit with a missile?
Those engines are 50 years old and probably haven’t been getting their regular maintenance on account of the 3 day special military operation going a bit over schedule. Maybe unmaintained SU-25s just randomly have their wings fall off sometimes?
It’d be a huge coincidence if the wing just happened to fall off just as the rockets were fired. It probably hit the wing or the engine before being armed, so it didn’t go off but still knocked something loose.
On the other hand, like you said, hard turns in a plane that’s 200% over it’s lifetime flight hours may be the problem too.
Friendly fire? Looks like the rear one fired rockets too close to it’s partner.

Yeah looks like incompetence. Who’d have thunk it???
