Gripen deploying countermeasures

ngos (75)in #planes • 7 years ago

For me this was one of the best shots of the day.

Caught this almost by surprise, never knowing it was coming.

Watching that phosphorous burn and break apart.

These countermeasures are usually deployed to take out a heat-seeking missile that has been fired upon and is tracking the fighter.

It may look absolutely amazing when it's nighttime and dark outside 😮

Yea I totally agree with you ...it looks nice from down below ,almost looks like a painting but were did this occur ? Doesn't appear to be very safe

at an airshow, but done vertically so the phosphorous would burn out midair
