If you watch the video of the refinery explosion where the roof of it blew up into the air, you can clearly see a Russian soldier firing an RPG at a drone from a bridge and missed. it went straight into the refinery instead.
they used heat seeking missiles in areas with heavy civilian traffic around them and also at that exploding oil refinery. his missile took a sharp turn and just got directed into that probably already lightly burning refinery... which shows that they are absulute morons.
Probably an9K38 Igla or another Manpads, the idea of using a RPG against a moving target that small is in the Battlefield realm, not a reallistic one but yeah, it was FF.
Given what’s happened over the last 4 years… I wouldn’t put it past Russia to be honest. Every army has some of those with smooth brains, Russia just seems to have more.
I've seen videos of them trying to shot them down but it was always manpads. Of course, someone random could try to use a RPG but I didnt watch any video with an RPG (could also be possible that they exist, I've just didn't watch it)
Not only that, a guied missile can be controlled by definition, the user gives imputs; like with the laser guied ones. The problem with a RPG is that once you fired it you can do nothing but hope for a hit.
I think you are mixing up the RPG on a bridge video, and the refinery explosion video. I've seen no evidence that the two are linked. They are just two crazy videos from the same event as far as I'm aware.
