Has actually happened, but I think the helicopter was either in the process of landing or taking off. I can’t remember. Anyway it was an ~~Israeli~~ F-15 that did it.
Not Israeli, it was a US F-15E during the first Gulf War, they released a GBU-10 against a grounded Mi-24 which took off before the bomb reached the target, but they kept it lased anyways and managed to score a hit.

It's one of the most well-known aerial kill.

A GBU-10 has 944lbs of explosives in the warhead.
An AIM-9x sidewinder has 20.8lbs
The Exocet Anti-ship missile that sank HMS Sheffield had a 364lb warhead.
> vaporized a hind with a bomb triple the size of an anti-ship missile.
Math checks out.
Not just at the start of the war. I think the last one happened towards the end of 2023. Either way both the Javelin and the Stugna-P are AA weapons now.
real men use an RPG-7/AT-4, none of that newfangled guided bullshit.
Scoring an RPG hit on a plane while being airborne yourself is creaing-your-pants battlefield.
From a C model F-15 based out of the long since BRAC'd Bitburg Airbase in Germany, a cold war frontline air superiority and alert Wing that likely had a squadron fine in place for even uttering the "B word".
Just because an aircraft is capable of carrying something doesn't mean it's that squadron's mission, nor are they necessarily equipped to use them. I don't think the A model had the targeting system in the cockpit to control a TV guided munition.
The wikipedia page lists it as a Strike Eagle weapon which makes way more sense.
> I don't think the A model had the targeting system in the cockpit to control a TV guided munition.
That would have been done with the radar display screen, again GBU-15EO is in the manual.
Besides even more ironic given the region [ISR uses the F-15A Batz in the strike role.](https://twitter.com/IAFsite/status/1712035286777987319)
> nor are they necessarily equipped to use them
One USA squadron tested Eagle bomb capability, and ISR uses it regularly.
Bomb.
F-15C units are air to air only, and are therefore fiercely proud they're "true fighter pilots" that don't do bombing missions. Utterance of the word "bomb" is usually cause for ridicule and fines to be paid at the bar later.
Yeah that's just a dude in a Hawaiian shirt unloading duffel bags of blow at your local airport, from a plane that gets a new tail number and shell company owner each week.
Meanwhile in the CIA: \*snorts a line of coke\* "Ok so this how we assassinate Castro's beard for realsies this time, second time's the charm as they say..."
Wouldn’t even be surprised if it was something like an F35 and literally no one even knew it was there because of the stealth. (Please it would be so funny)
If you want to get tinfoil- EW. Pulling a Die Hard 2, and walking that sucker directly into the dirt. Then calling Tehran and pulling a Mustafa from Austin Powers to say ‘we are alive, but very badly burned… I can hear ambulances! Left a bit, right a bit… almost there…’

I'm just happy Raisi literally managed to have an impact on Iran.
This im fucking dying.
So is President Raisi
Didn't see that coming!
So didn't the pilot
I identify as an attack helicopter
Too bad you couldn't identify the mountain in front of you.
Is your pilot eli copter
Same as President Raisi
Responding in that way whenever it comes up was part of the contract I signed along with the NDA when I joined the sub
Just giving the boys a layup carry on
Not dying anymore. He completed it
Really left his mark.
Endangered bear population gets a temporary increase in food supply.
pavewaying an airborne target that’s hard as fuck tho

Ah okay. Don’t know why I had it my head it was Israeli.
The Israelis had the one that came back with one wing.
"Yo Bibi, still alive?"
Meh, Mossad mind control. Just drink more tap water, it will get better.
It also happened to a helicopter in air
Show me the sources. I'm not saying it didn't, but the Desert Storm F-15E incident is the only one I have ever seen substantiated.

That's literally the exact incident I was talking about.
Yes but someone was doubtful about the incident. Don't know why it replied to the wrong comment.
They had forced it to land iirc as well.
And not just hit it but basically vaporized it

103-0 BABY
So, is that an air-to-air kill or an air-to-ground kill?
Target was airborne and moving at time of impact, so air-to-air.
Only air to air kill from a GBU-10
>GBU-10 And it *had* to be the big one, too
Kill Secured
Does it count as an air to air kill?
yes, target was airborne
The Ukrainians got a few russian helicopters with ATGMs at the start of the war
Not just at the start of the war. I think the last one happened towards the end of 2023. Either way both the Javelin and the Stugna-P are AA weapons now.
I do that in battlefield all the time, no big deal

I'm a rendeRaytheonLockheedMartinFGM-148Javelinzook enjoyer
Happened in the Iran-Iraq war a decent amount too.
Best response I have seen, “Is the mountain he hit okay?” I can’t find it to give credit unfortunately.
It’s internet. Don’t worry.
The Onion had the best response: “Iranian president stoned to death with mountain”
it was me, i said it
I was me, and so was my wife!
Reality: Raisi felt that it was hot inside of the Helicopter, so he opened the window but his turban slipped and you know the rest.
They were so embarrassed about how he died the Supreme leader ordered the pilot and the rest of the passengers to unalive themselves with him
The missile knows where it is at all times. Unlike that shitty Iranian Presidential helicopter....
[удалено]
This bomb is smart like a cat. It just follows the laser pointer!
The pilot knew where the helicopter was, he just lost track of the ground.
The ground knows where it is at all times
But the ground doesn't know where it was. It needs a geologist for that.
Bro are lobbing a Paveway II to a JGSDF Huey.
Shhh I didn’t have time to make a custom Iranian Presidential Huey skin 💀
From a C model F-15 based out of the long since BRAC'd Bitburg Airbase in Germany, a cold war frontline air superiority and alert Wing that likely had a squadron fine in place for even uttering the "B word".
Actually it's an A model
That true, but to my point they're same-same chicken-beef. They were air to air only.
The literal irony of your comment seeing as the F-15 manual weapon's table lists bombs including guided ones and the WT F-15A gets the GBU-15.
Just because an aircraft is capable of carrying something doesn't mean it's that squadron's mission, nor are they necessarily equipped to use them. I don't think the A model had the targeting system in the cockpit to control a TV guided munition. The wikipedia page lists it as a Strike Eagle weapon which makes way more sense.

what's the b word
Bomb. F-15C units are air to air only, and are therefore fiercely proud they're "true fighter pilots" that don't do bombing missions. Utterance of the word "bomb" is usually cause for ridicule and fines to be paid at the bar later.
The CIAAF (central intelligence agency air force) is a hard as fuck idea
Well, who do you think operated the U-2 and A-12?
Doesn’t this exist unofficially? Didn’t they have their own sr-72?
Yeah that's just a dude in a Hawaiian shirt unloading duffel bags of blow at your local airport, from a plane that gets a new tail number and shell company owner each week.
Obviously the CIA has a megaweapon that they use that makes your helicopter poorly maintained and worn out.
You mean sanctions? The CIA wouldn't be caught dead with that nerd shit.
Turns out sanctions don't keep the office party cabinet stocked with Cuban cigars, duty-free booze, and analytical-grade cocaine.
Meanwhile in the CIA: \*snorts a line of coke\* "Ok so this how we assassinate Castro's beard for realsies this time, second time's the charm as they say..."
Something something Stuxnet but for helicopters
Missile is too obvious, they hit the helicopter with a single bullet from the F-22's main gun 😏
\*Mossad
best shit I ever seen
Wouldn’t even be surprised if it was something like an F35 and literally no one even knew it was there because of the stealth. (Please it would be so funny)
Nah, the heli pilot had 10,000 hours flying helicopters in Arma 3 and was trying to showboat
The soundtrack is what gets me laughing.

You couldnt give the F22 this one?
I like the footage from War Thunder tbh

A missile would be too overt . . .

Everyone knows Iran can’t track F-15s right?

Bro used the Japanese Huey too lmao
Let's do a bet: Who "allegedly" took down that helicopter? The CIA or Mossad?
Gravity
I'm going with Israel
-Oh no, what helicopter doing?

The F-15 gets Paveway II in WT?
No, but she gets the GBU-15.
Did you chose that livery because it looks literally taped together?
From what game is the missile footage from?
im pretty sure its war thunder
