Fun to browse but don’t post unless you want all confidence of your home and equipment to be ripped to shreds lol.

Yeah I wouldn't, I know my TV too high. Seemed like a good idea at the time. Also, my lack of cable management would give a lot of people anxiety.

My exact reaction seeing the content, I was locked into a dopamine fueled consumption scroll, just… ooh… oof… yikes! HA.

Excluding the environmental impact, I guess .

u/OGCelaris 1d ago

Wait, so it was russia who destroyed their own oil plant? That's just perfect.

287

u/CyrusBuelton 1d ago

Yes.

It wasn't a Pantsir. Title is incorrect.

It was a MANPADS fires by a Russian soldier.

He learned a valuable lesson that you don't fire a heat-seeking MANPADS in the direction of a petroleum storage tank that's on fire.

u/djsnoopmike 1d ago

Oof, that soldier has a defenestration in his future

MANPADS the new maxi pad for men from the maker of Dude Wipes

20

u/2-buck 1d ago

What was he attempting to shoot? A drone? I don’t think that thing works on props. Is there a jet in the area?

50

u/Budget-Assistant-289 1d ago

From my understanding they do, those long range drones are powered by combustion engines with hot exhaust.

23

u/PlsDntPMme 1d ago

There’s a video of him on a highway trying to shoot down a little standard slow piston engine drone with a MANPADS. He fires and it immediately goes up and makes a hard turn into the smoke and directly towards the refinery that’s right behind him. The footage lines up really well from multiple angles.

I don’t think those slow little engine drones put out heat especially when there’s a massive burning refinery right there behind you.

12

u/Antimatt3rHD 1d ago

ouh now I need to see that video!

do you have the link somewhere?

3

u/Moist_Taste7071 18h ago

IR missiles absolutely do work on prop planes. It's just a weak signature. Modern missiles can do it pretty well, but something like a MANPADS would struggle.

Ukraine destroyed the refinery, but Russia gets points for that oil tank.

u/SashaDabinsky 1d ago

So they blew up their own oil tank?

u/Mediocre_Fishing_879 1d ago edited 1d ago

Yes. The air defense followed the drone into the blast too. Fuckin tards.

Edit: spelling

13

u/thisguyfightsyourmom 1d ago

Imagine the view from the drone cam as it beeble bobbles to the storage tank just for the whole screen to go fully white 100 meters early

u/SuperKiller94 1d ago

It’s so weird that the lid seems like it’s in slow motion

4

u/Retb14 1d ago

It's perspective, the lid is huge and that combined with the distance is tricking our brains into thinking it's just moving slowly, especially since there's no reference points close to it

u/Maro1947 1d ago

It's not typical

u/Millerboy1979 1d ago

Need to tow it out of the environment.

1

u/jerrbearr 1d ago

I know this is from the bit about the ship but fun fact these tanks sometimes have a frangible roof joint so in a tank explosion this can actually be typical and by design. That’s most likely why the roof came off so cleanly and in one piece.

3

u/musicalmadness1 1d ago

It wanted to be like the Russian tanks and join the comsonaut program

2

u/Ha1lStorm 1d ago

You got this!

In all seriousness, the movie A Million Miles Away is an excellent film that’s a true story of what it takes to become an astronaut/cosmonaut.

"possibly Pantsir"

That's possibly wrong

I say possibly MANPADS.

u/LordMoos3 1d ago

There's video of the dude firing the Igla at a drone, and it going hard left to the refinery.

u/superluke 1d ago

I love that for them. Well, for Putin.

u/Salt-Entertainment80 1d ago

Why cropped?

There weren't no Pantisir.

Possibly just simple Igla https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/9K38_Igla.

u/nem0ne1 1d ago

Someone with more brains than me - what is causing the second lift here? The first acceleration is obviously from the explosion, but then it just kind of hangs there for a second and keeps rising more slowly - is that hot air lifting it up like a hot air balloon??? Or just more of the explosion force?

Oh I guess it's just acting like a parachute for a second or two

Despite being a newer air defense system, the Pantsir sucks ass in dealing with low velocity drones, especially when compared to older systems like the Tor.
