  • The S turns were to bleed off altitude because this is an approach from a high altitude to keep from getting shot.

  • @topco130 Do they often mortar/bomb/sabotage a runway purposely to disrupt landing supplies? I am guessing all those dark spots are areas that were repaired?

  • @Orangebike666 All those round black spots are where rapid runway repair teams have tried to repair bomb craters in the runway.

  • final approach was amazing, didn't even see the runway until the last turn

  • My ears are popping just watching the approach

  • Were the "S turns" supposed to disrupt the missle lock-on?

  • 2:28 The terrain reminds me of Project Reality
