What combat footage is that?what did it shoot down?

[bubbles867]

This isnt Combat Footage , this plane never saw combat

[GOODFELLAS74]

at 1:55 it shot a plane down with rockets or at least it looked like a plane

[bubbles867]

I know the only plane it engaged was a British Harrier , when the pilot ejected , and somehow the plane carried on flying . Pilot probably missed his tea and crumpets hahah

[GOODFELLAS74]

@bubbles867 HAHA,or maybe he had too much tea and had to eject so he could run to the toilet

[bubbles867]

Wont be doing any running hanging from a silk condom at 25,000ft , but at least if he pissed himself he can blame it on the violent ejection lol

WOW... that ;ppls a lot like a MiG-21 Fishbed, I have to wonder who copied who?

[OlderG0ds]

Lightning and Mig-21 came out almost the same time.
