Ever wonder how fast things can come at you in combat ... and how fast you have to react to survive?
Simply stunning video from the shootdown of a Russian S-25 in Ukraine:
No other aircraft has been so valuable - and no aircraft has been shot down more - than the SU-25 in this conflict.
Many regulars here are very familiar with "time compression" in such situations. Time slows down a lot. If you have not experienced that, you may wonder how he is able to eject so fast to survive a direct hit at 200-meters (about 600'). Well, training is one, but time compression is another.
This slow-motion video makes it a little closer to what it felt like to the pilot.

Tough job. Tough aircraft.
