That is from video game

If it's from a video game, it's a damned accurate one!

I've been on the receiving end of Russian Hiind attacks, and can confirm that the 12.5 mm nose mounted machine guns and rocket barrages from the wing mounted rocket pods are exactly as shown, both sound and fury. i;s hard to mistake those hornets flying past your ears.

It's a standard Russian 4 chopper attack flight, as seen in Afghanistan. I couldn't confirm the choppers - one looked like a Hind, but another looked like it might be a Havoc, and yet a third looked too wide in the body for either of those.

I watched it several times, but could only confirm 3 birds splashed, not 4.

So if it's a simulation, which it could be, it's a damned good one, My hat's off to the programmers.

Another video from ARMA 3  game





I thought the video 727Sky posted was real too, but then read it`s from game

I'm watching the video, and am currently about half way though it, and am not convinced so far. Sky's video does not include ground based chain guns as the gamer video does. Sky's video shows 12.5 mm HMG tracer fire at the helicopters rather than a chain gun.The sky in the gamer video is "banded", as one would see in a GIF, but Sky's is not, The explosion blooms are not at all the same, nor are the flare ejections from the bird - the ones in the gamer video defy physics. I'll continue watching, but so far it is not convincing.
