I saw those as well, but the flight of the second missile seemed largely correct, also the 5 seconds cut are intriguing...And I've seen blind WSO too, US Cobras would hit 3/4 seconds early with upgraded TOWS...

Nothing intriguing about the cuts, they wanted to make a 30 second video to embed it in twitter without additional work.

But but but he has been arrested in Turkey! For his own safety?

Turkish police have confirmed that the alleged killer of the downed Russian Su-24 bomber jet's pilot is in custody.

Alparslan Celik, who has claimed he killed the pilot parachuting from the Russian Su-24 bomber jet which was shot down over Syria, has been detained in the city of Izmir, a local police source said Friday.

Besides infesting approaches to the city with mines, residential quarters were also trapped with explosives, which turned the whole town into a huge “delayed action mine.”

“At least 3,000 explosive devices were installed in the city,” the sapper explained to RT. He said ISIS created an almost invisible interconnected network, partially hidden under hard paved roads, which could blow up the entire city.

One of the two independent triggers is manual and can be activated by an ISIS agent. The second one is automatic and was connected to the urban grid to set off series of explosions as soon as the electricity supply returns.

The Syrian security forces were able to save the city of Palmyra after receiving intelligence just in time to prevent detonation. The army also sent out special interference signal to prevent terrorist from setting off the chain reaction.

Syrian Army engineers are working day and night trying to unearth the explosives left behind not only on the roads but in residential buildings and historical monuments. They hope that by removing the danger, peaceful life can fully return to the city.

First strike

10 sec for 3.5 km 350m/sec... Shturm?

Second Strike

8 sec for 4.5 km 600m/s ...Vikhr.

Wallahi Billahi Vikhr can be mounted on Mil Mi 28N? Or Ka 52 was in Plamyra...

Nah, I think the second video is just edited. You can notice the sudden change in roll axis (upper scale), the camera direction (arrow in the circle in the bottom left corner) and the speed (goes from 163 to 158 km/h in 1 frame). It looks to me like they cut a couple of seconds out.

Edit: I also just noticed that there is a flight time displayed for the rocket. Just above the distance. 10 seconds for the first missile and 13 for the second. That confirms that they cut from 6 to 1 seconds in the second part of the video.

On this video posted by ult above,

Note 0.22 man on the right looks very polite
       1.18 sounds very much like someone talking politely on the radio

Since the hysteria of 'putins running away' the other week it actually seems russia is playing harder than ever.
