Very low is a good place to be. Limited exposure time.

ISIS isn't holding any positions north of Hama, that is FSA controlled territory. Russian propaganda published on Youtube from Russian Insider.

Remember in Doom when you're fighting the zombies and then an Imp shows up and lobs a fireball into the back of one of the zombies which alerts a Pinky Demon and then you just sit back and watch as they kill each other? Yeah, watching shit go down in Syria is kind of like that. You've got bad guys fighting bad guys fighting other bad guys. The only difference is that at the end of it when there is one bad guy left standing as victor there's no Doom guy standing there waiting for the smoke to clear and mop up. Mainly because the guy in charge of our country is a flamming weak ass bitch faggot. I'd keep going but don't need a COC warning.

We get it, you think the Russian's military suck. . . you practically spam it in every thread in which it's remotely even relevant.

You're as annoying and biased as the fuckers who only listen to RT and assume the Russians are conquering the planet in a divine holy war.

You could probably chew one up with a .50 cal or 12.7mm after a while, but I wouldn't bet on surviving long enough to do so.

They didn't seem extremely low to me. It's obviously in a valley. The elevation change and perspective of the camera make it look more drastic than it is in the first video.

These are the guys who released the video. Russian Insider. Go look for yourself and call me a liar. Here is a map of Syrian controlled territory, so you can check it yourself.

Putin is an enemy of the United States. Just like Stalin wasn't just FDR or Truman's personal nemesis, Russia aggression is not and will not be limited to Obama. Putin invaded Georgia while Bush was still president. And in 15 months when Obama is gone, he'll continue doing doing fucked up shit.

Allah Akbar can apparently mean:

Look for context clues to see which meaning is used and when.

The rotor disks are the most vulnerable part of any helicopter.

It's pretty awful. . . but at the end of the day they're killing snackbars and i'm loving the new videos coming out.

I watch this stuff on a daily basis, and follow tons of the conflit-news type threads through various message boards . . . I just hate hearing the same old shit from spam bots on both sides.

What I see here is a video that's not really all that manipulative in it's editing and it's from month(s) ago. Why even drop in just to let us know it's propaganda? The video is exactly what it is. . . and it's awesome

I think you give too much credit to Russian tactics.  The choppers are just big shotguns, zoom in , blast whatever they see that catches their eye(doesn't have to be a legitimate target), fly back to base, rearm get drunk and go do it again until the ammo or fuel runs out or you get shot down.  No finesse or fancy tactics needed because the monkeys they are supporting on the ground can't take advantage of the support the russians are providing anyway.

Enlightening others that a bullshit title of a youtube channel, released by a fucking Russian state owned media source is propaganda is spamming? Are you kidding me? Way to forget the Cold War and 45 years of American-Russian foreign relations, as well as completely miss out in the threat of Russian expansionist in Eastern Europe. We totally sent troops into Poland and other Baltic nations solely so US Army soldiers can drink new sorts of alcohol and fuck a different sort of fat chick.

I'm annoying because people like you are so gaga over Muslims being killed in Syria that you don't realize that letting the Russians do it is fucking bad for us. I'm biased because I know American history. I know Russian history. And because I understand that a strong Russia is not good for anyone unless you're Russian.

Put me on ignore and then there wont have any distractions and you can jerk off to war porn in peace.

of course there is the reality..

the russians could destroy anything in Syria they want and it would be a "military target"

the US probably attacked the same target 6 months ago and it was a "Hospital connected to an Orphanage".

fuck our liberal press..
