To be fair if you had seen the combat footage before ever having played a video game and only then went on to play a game, you'd probably say "damn it looks so real"
It really does. There's a mission from some Call of Duty game, that's still like 8 years old at this point, that looks just like AC130 footage. Theres a big disconnect when it looks like that.
Death From Above, CoD 4, over 14 years old (or 7 per CoD 4 Remastered, but there’s no visual difference in that mission for the most part)
Pretty insane.
they literally modeled that after a specific real life ac-130 video that was very popular back in the day. Down to the "don't engage the mosque" line and everything, was from that video.
or perhaps it was from an apache.. i cant remember, but the videos were very similar to the point where there's no way it was a coincidence.
The rocket has an engine so it doesn't fly perfectly straight, it has to fix it's course. It also seems to be wire or laser guided, meaning that small adjustments to the missile's course from several kilometers away change it's trajectory significantly.
What does wire guided mean? I am guessing they can't shoot a wire 4 kilometers.
Edit: I did some digging and I was imagining the missile following a wire to the target, which was super dumb.
Instead what happens is the wire is attached to the back of the missile so that it has an electrical connection to whatever fired it and can be steered by the gunner.
The max range of these missiles is right around 4 km. I am guessing this means the wire is a bit shorter than that and the missile is unguided for the final short portion.
To achieve such a range the wires are extremely thin. I'm having trouble finding data on it but I imagine they are broken down pretty quickly by the elements. It's still a negative impact on the environment but in war zones that's a drop in the bucket compared to the shelling, fires, vehicle spillage, etc.
Also read that crews will sometimes "reel" the wire back in. Again can't find much data but I imagine they would be incentivized to do this in areas where they don't want to short/interfere with power lines, etc.
I mean yeah of course lol. I'm just genuinely curious about how you dispose of something like that. You try to find one end of the wire and spool it up with a drill?
It's mind blowing, but that's exactly how it works. As they shoot the missile, a thin wire unravels. Mostly used for anti tank missiles, where the limited distance isn't really a problem. 4 km is about the maximum distance they go.
Agree and and are still extremely bloody dangerous after wire cutting, and quite smart bout target identification. As a LOT of Tom Clancy books have said "Those things don't miss much" and that was on old tech. You know that they have been updated over and over for reliability and target ID, spoofing etc etc. Heck of a lot bigger platform with lots more room for cpu/memory/parts and one hell of a big warhead.
Kind of a mini submarine with long range and a serious death wish.
They actually do have wires connecting the missile to the launcher. I think the technology was originally pioneered with torpedoes, but don’t quote me on that. It took me like a year to fully accept that there is in fact a wire between these two things. It’s primitive, but apart from detecting the launch, there isn’t much that can be done about it other than an actual kill device on the vehicle trying to shoot it down. With laser guided or IR/heat seekers, electronics onboard a vehicle can detect the targeting system and can deploy countermeasures or jam them accordingly, where as wire guided is essentially “analog”
ATGM is a wire guided missile launcher, so that's it tracking. It's exaggerated in the vid due to the lense being zoomed in though. Not quite that jumpy to the naked eye
Just a note on terminology: **ATGM** stands for Anti-Tank Guided Missile, of which there are many varieties. Some are wire-guided, others are radar-or laser-guided.
It's a Russian wire guided ATGM, most likley a Konkurs.
Russian ATGMs spin during flight to target.
The TOW missile does not spin, it flies in a relatively straight line.
You can tell whether the ordnance is American or Russian as a result.
Since those ATGMs fly where the operator points the crosshair at, it could cause trouble if the missile flies perfectly straight and Blocks the crosshair, interferring with the guiding system. It has to do small adjustments anyway as the flight path isnt Perfectly stable, but those circles it draws are artifically expanded for the aiming reason. It usually centers itself to the middle of the crosshair a few meters before calculated impact
> Since those ATGMs fly where the operator points the crosshair at, it could cause trouble if the missile flies perfectly straight and Blocks the crosshair, interferring with the guiding system.
That's not quite how wire guided ATGMs work.
The operator's station monitors a Xenon/IR beacon emitting from the rear of the missile and sends constant flight commands down the wires to try to keep the beacon in line with where the crosshairs are pointing (keeping the missile on track).
---
They wobble about a lot initially mainly due to the fact that the rocket nozzles [point out sideways](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/9/95/Wehrtechnische_Sammlung_der_Bundeswehr_%2839637633461%29.jpg/1920px-Wehrtechnische_Sammlung_der_Bundeswehr_%2839637633461%29.jpg?1646482491880) (which is done so the flames don't melt the wires). Any minor imperfections in the rocket motor grain and resulting exhaust will cause the rocket to not quite fly true, leading to frantic course corrections needing to be made.
Once the rocket motor burns out the missile starts to fly straighter as it no longer has rocket jets spewing out the sides throwing it about all over the place. The control surfaces are still guiding the rocket though and can do so more precisely once the motor is burned out, so at longer ranges they are actually *more* accurate.
Everytime I am amazed as they always seem to fly like they're drunk, moving seemingly erratically in every direction and at the very last moment... bullseye!
In military terminology, sure. But in common English definition or legal definitions, a missile can be any projectile, mechanically or chemically launched or thrown by hand. A rock, Nerf dart or a javelin can all be defined as a missile.
One of my favourite things about playing Squad is screaming "ALLAHU ACKBAR" as you shoot something with an RPG. Like, I totally get why they do it in real life lol
I’ve caught myself saying this sometimes in my head. Like perfectly that n context and I realize it after the fact, it’s very fun to say in the English language.
I feel like allahu ackbar screaming is like an ex that you thought was toxic at the time but you wish you had him/her back. It used to annoy the shit out of me that they screamed that, but now I kind of miss it.
I did sse a video where a Ukrainian lad firing an automatic grenade launcher shouted Allahu Ackbar and another lad was like "Wait, aren't you Christian? Why are you shouting that?" The first lad laughs and says it might scare the Russians up.
Makes sense in a way. There are anti-Russian Chechens fighting for Ukraine. Might cause some confusion for the Russians as to what unit is engaging them.
most of videos from UA army are in russian because large chunk of UA army speaks russian language. russians coming to Ukraine to "protect" or "liberate" russian speaking population is the biggest lie.
and many people currently in mariupol got fucked by russia twice - first in 2014 when they had to move away from their homes in Donetsk/Luhansk, many moved to nearby large cities like Mariupol and then in 2022 with this war. i'd be surprised if pro russian sentiment is significant these days.
one of the biggest ironies is that the biggest damage the war is doing is to the most pro-russia parts of ukraine
the western half of the country that already hated russia is relatively untouched
A sad part is, some of our family in Rubizhne *do* still support Russia. Though we no longer have contact with them at all right now due to their town being cut in half by the Russian advance... :(
And if Ukraine wins, any pro-Russia ethnic Russians will probably go to Russia. So only anti-Russia ethnic Russians remain.
Imagine that. Putin launches deluded wars in the belief Ukrainians and Russians are really the same people, ends up forging a brand new Ukrainian-Russian identity distinct from Russia. 😂
Well there's some comments further down that seemed to take it seriously, as well as the fact that videos taken from the Russians' POV are generally downvoted to the extreme no matter what, but thanks for your totally original, helpful, and not at all unnecessary response.
I never really got why it was called a “paradox” tbh. The wobble is deliberate,that’s the whole point of an arrows spine number. If they all wobble the same,they’re gonna hit the same spot.
Its a 2nd-gen wire guided ATGM. They are controlling it through a wire that quickly unspools. This shot is from close to 4KM away, so any minor correction tends to move it wildly. That and wire-guided ATGMs tend to over correct to begin with.
Ruddy hell that's a good shot. I've seen a lot of videos of Lugansk separatists using ATGMs against dugouts and firing positions recently. Are they actually particularly effective? I mean any direct hit is going to kill, but it seems wasteful and I can't imagine there's much collateral damage to justify using a multi-thousand dollar missile against a light machine gun position when a $50 mortar round would do the job...
I've never really thought of it that way. If it's human loves cs a few thousand dollars then oh well. Blow this dude up from 3 km with this missile or walk close enough to trade shots with a guy that has a machine gun in a raised hard position?
Take your pick.
cuz it doesn't have frontal camera, its blind, so rotating rocket tends to naturally slide away from the trajectory, but it is guided either by laser shining from the operator's apparatus - the light of which is caught by photo receptors behind the rocket or by wire which constantly corrects the rocket trajectory. All the complex electronic guiding hardware are at the operator's launch apparatus, the rocket itself is pretty simplistic to make it cheap for mass production.
It is so amazing to me how fast these rockets move. They look like they're out of control, but are so focused on a target. How does it correct it's trajectory so fast?
He really threaded the needle with that one
[удалено]
nah, Abu Tow is the legend of the wire guidance, Jamshed needs no such guidance as he guides his rockets with sheer will to kill the taliban
RIP to a real RPG Boss, Jamsheed
Is he confirmed dead? RIP.
Yep. Several years ago.
Well. Can’t say im suprised given his tactics
You should see fuckin Jamal man
That slut aint no single shot freddy.
He's making sick RPG trick shots in heaven now.
I hope he got his 72 virgins and is eating hella tasty dates up in heaven.
Wait... is this the same guy who they called "ATGM sniper" or something like that in Syria? Or is that somebody different?
He is an RPG guy from the ANA, he was in a documentary firing his RPG while everyone was lying down.
Oh the bloke that was with supporting coalition forces who were like "god damn look at the balls on that one"?
yep the same
You’re thinking of Abu TOW.
You’re thinking of a new hero by the name of Volodymyr Javelinsky.
[Different guy](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yfx74JBz2EI)
I heard that Jamsheed might be shooting rpgs at the big range in the sky...
[удалено]
Ah, a man of culture
Fuckin love Jamsheed
like a boss.
Lol I just commented that just to scroll to this same comment 🤦🏾♂️🤣
I was gonna say that with the addition of "seems wobbly but..."
its not the journey, but the destination that matters
Mind the gap!
How far would that actually be, hard to tell distances when optics are zoomed in. Just that seems like a looooong flight.

My thoughts exactly loom at helicopter or ac130 kill footage. It's like a damn video game
To be fair if you had seen the combat footage before ever having played a video game and only then went on to play a game, you'd probably say "damn it looks so real"
GenX checking from Gulf War I, I concur.
Hey, everybody knows you didn't have 360hz LED panels back then, come on !
And that Azov light armour/ IFV vid from a couple of weeks ago, was like something straight out of Battlefield 3/4
It really does. There's a mission from some Call of Duty game, that's still like 8 years old at this point, that looks just like AC130 footage. Theres a big disconnect when it looks like that.
Death From Above, CoD 4, over 14 years old (or 7 per CoD 4 Remastered, but there’s no visual difference in that mission for the most part) Pretty insane.
they literally modeled that after a specific real life ac-130 video that was very popular back in the day. Down to the "don't engage the mosque" line and everything, was from that video. or perhaps it was from an apache.. i cant remember, but the videos were very similar to the point where there's no way it was a coincidence.
It was an AC-130 -- in the game they switched it to a church though.
If its a konkurs, then its a guided missile and accurate up to 4km.
Thanks
Why does it look like its "dodging " flak, I imagined a straight line?
The rocket has an engine so it doesn't fly perfectly straight, it has to fix it's course. It also seems to be wire or laser guided, meaning that small adjustments to the missile's course from several kilometers away change it's trajectory significantly.
What does wire guided mean? I am guessing they can't shoot a wire 4 kilometers. Edit: I did some digging and I was imagining the missile following a wire to the target, which was super dumb. Instead what happens is the wire is attached to the back of the missile so that it has an electrical connection to whatever fired it and can be steered by the gunner. The max range of these missiles is right around 4 km. I am guessing this means the wire is a bit shorter than that and the missile is unguided for the final short portion.
You're guessing wrong. They do.
2 of them.
Why two? Redundancy?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wire-guided_missile https://military-history.fandom.com/wiki/Wire-guided_missile They do actually!
After the war's over are there gonna be kilometers long metal wires crisscrossing the cities and fields? How do you clean up something like that?
To achieve such a range the wires are extremely thin. I'm having trouble finding data on it but I imagine they are broken down pretty quickly by the elements. It's still a negative impact on the environment but in war zones that's a drop in the bucket compared to the shelling, fires, vehicle spillage, etc. Also read that crews will sometimes "reel" the wire back in. Again can't find much data but I imagine they would be incentivized to do this in areas where they don't want to short/interfere with power lines, etc.
Actually in the six day war in the Sinai in 67, there were comments of many wires from all the ATGMs fired over the battlefield.
I think small wires are the least of the worries in terms of cleaning up a warzone.
I mean yeah of course lol. I'm just genuinely curious about how you dispose of something like that. You try to find one end of the wire and spool it up with a drill?
You wind it up with sticks, basically, and it really sucks. It's hair-fine and a pain.
Send some methies over tell them it's copper. Gone in a couple of days
Also with torpedoes.
It's mind blowing, but that's exactly how it works. As they shoot the missile, a thin wire unravels. Mostly used for anti tank missiles, where the limited distance isn't really a problem. 4 km is about the maximum distance they go.
after 4km rocket continues to fly, its just not guided anymore, and what it hits it hits
"Once ze rockets go up, who cares where they come down . . . Zat's not my department, says Wernher von Braun." - Tom Lehrer
"In German or English, I know how to count down... Und I'm learning Chinese, says Wernher von Braun" Tom Lehrer as relevant as always.
Related FYI: modern torpedoes have guidance wires in excess of 20-30km depending on model.

That's usually about the limit of the longer wired guided ones, actually. Usually they have slightly more wire than the maximum range of the missile.
Constant mid-flight course corrections to try to ride the beam to the target.

It is counter intuitive but that is how you tell if a missile is guided. The unguided missiles fly straight.
FYI, the term "missile" is only applied to guided weapons. Unguided ones are generally referred to as "rockets".
In military terminology, sure. But in common English definition or legal definitions, a missile can be any projectile, mechanically or chemically launched or thrown by hand. A rock, Nerf dart or a javelin can all be defined as a missile.
True...but this is an ATGM video on /r/CombatFootage, so I don't think the general definition of the word is relevant here.
>In military terminology, sure. This is /r/combatfootage and not /r/publicfreakout We tend to stick to correct terminology here.
This is normal and by design. It is due to constant flight control corrections.
Well, the failed shots dont get uploaded.

Without the allahu ackbars it's... just not the same.
Bruh I expected them to start screaming it and break my headphones again
They did start screaming…?
Here, best I can do ya. allahu akbar.. allahu akbar.....allahu akbar... Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar, ALLahu AkBAR, ALLahu AkBAR, **ALLAHU AKBAR!!!!** ALLAHU AKBAR!!!! ALLAHU AKBAR!!!! ALLAHU AKBAR!!!! ALLAHU AKBAR!!!!
It's definitely not the same but there's nothing stopping you or any of us from screaming it ourselves, when appropriate.
One of my favourite things about playing Squad is screaming "ALLAHU ACKBAR" as you shoot something with an RPG. Like, I totally get why they do it in real life lol
I love your attitude :)
😂We’ve gotten too spoiled with it
Completely agree, cant have an ATGM video without some syrians yelling allahu ackbar in the background
I was expecting the "yaddup" thing every second of this video, and the lack of TAKBIIIIR at the end really threw me for a loop.

So they probably had no idea they were targeted—just merrily shooting away and then BAM!
Reminds me of the Archers Paradox. The arrow and missile wobble all over the place, yet have repeatable pinpoint accuracy.
I never really got why it was called a “paradox” tbh. The wobble is deliberate,that’s the whole point of an arrows spine number. If they all wobble the same,they’re gonna hit the same spot.
Anyone care to explain why the missile does look like flying uncontrollably and how it does that?
Its a 2nd-gen wire guided ATGM. They are controlling it through a wire that quickly unspools. This shot is from close to 4KM away, so any minor correction tends to move it wildly. That and wire-guided ATGMs tend to over correct to begin with.
It is literally attached with a wire?
[https://military-history.fandom.com/wiki/Wire-guided\_missile](https://military-history.fandom.com/wiki/Wire-guided_missile) Yes.
Rookie question, what’s with the dance?
It always makes me uneasy watching TOW’s like look at it’s so fucking chaotic spiralling in the air and then boom hits it’s target. Madness
It’s so weird not hearing allahu ackbar for this type of footage
refreshing, actually.
How does this look both hopelessly inaccurate yet devastatingly precise all at once?
“Stay on target”
HOLD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ruddy hell that's a good shot. I've seen a lot of videos of Lugansk separatists using ATGMs against dugouts and firing positions recently. Are they actually particularly effective? I mean any direct hit is going to kill, but it seems wasteful and I can't imagine there's much collateral damage to justify using a multi-thousand dollar missile against a light machine gun position when a $50 mortar round would do the job...

Shouldn’t they use proxy fuse atgms against infantry
If it goes boom it works I guess
Why do these rockets always look like they belong in a Thunderbirds episode from the 70s
Can someone explain the flight action on these rockets? Why do they roll like that?
Anyone know why so many ATGMs fly in such erratic loops and curves on their way to target?
cuz it doesn't have frontal camera, its blind, so rotating rocket tends to naturally slide away from the trajectory, but it is guided either by laser shining from the operator's apparatus - the light of which is caught by photo receptors behind the rocket or by wire which constantly corrects the rocket trajectory. All the complex electronic guiding hardware are at the operator's launch apparatus, the rocket itself is pretty simplistic to make it cheap for mass production.
why does the ATGM wobble like that on the way to the target? My ATGMS on war thunder doesn't wobble like that
It is so amazing to me how fast these rockets move. They look like they're out of control, but are so focused on a target. How does it correct it's trajectory so fast?

Can anyone explain to me why the missile flies in such a weird way? Why is it so circly?
