Ka-52 Strike on Unidentified Ukrainian Vehicle

Recently released FLIR guncam footage from a Ka-52 released by Russian sources shows an attack against an unidentifiable Ukrainian vehicle in an unknown part of the country.


When I look at footage like this, it reminds me of that time the Russians put out that piece of footage showing a Ka-52 destroying a tractor. I can tell why the pilots aren't able to always positively ID the targets, and it's entirely because they're using optics that look outdated by 1990s Gulf War standards.
