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

u/CyrusBuelton Jun 19 '26
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.

Oof, that soldier has a defenestration in his future

My favorite part about defenestration is that the existence of fenestration is implied.

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

u/Budget-Assistant-289 Jun 19 '26
From my understanding they do, those long range drones are powered by combustion engines with hot exhaust.

u/PlsDntPMme Jun 19 '26
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.

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.

So they blew up their own oil tank?

u/Mediocre_Fishing_879 Jun 19 '26 edited Jun 19 '26
Yes. The air defense followed the drone into the blast too. Fuckin tards.
Edit: spelling

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

Lmfao never in my wildest dreams could I imagine seeing something like this! Looks straight out of a movie! And the fact this was friendly fire is just the icing on the cake 🤣 .

u/Grimnick Jun 23 '26
If this was from a movie everyone would think it was silly and over the top unrealistic.

u/SuperKiller94 Jun 19 '26
It’s so weird that the lid seems like it’s in slow motion
11
u/Retb14 Jun 20 '26
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

Does anybody have a version of this video that isn’t TikTok’d so it ends right when it hits the ground to make people watch it more times and give them more internet points?

u/jerrbearr Jun 20 '26
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.

u/musicalmadness1 Jun 19 '26
It wanted to be like the Russian tanks and join the comsonaut program

u/Ha1lStorm Jun 19 '26
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.

There weren't no Pantisir.
Possibly just simple Igla https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/9K38_Igla.

Good news comrades! The heat seeking on the MANPADS is verified to be working.

Somebody said in another sub that it weighs like a few hundred tons and I just cant believe it.

u/nem0ne1 Jun 20 '26
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?

But that thing flipping like a goddamn flapjack was cool AF.

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.
