!!!OFFICIAL!!! video of Belarus Mi-24 shooting down an invader from Lithuania. The comments are on fire.

Lithuania summoned the Belarusian ambassador, as the helicopter violated the Lithuanian airspace.

That's the footage?

That's all there is?

Yep. Maybe there is more, but I mean we have a helicopter gunship shooting at balloons with an automatic cannon. Also, if you read a video description, again, this is an official channel, "provocation planned at the highest levels of Lithuanian government".

I couldnt make out what it was, swamp gas? So this is the EU intrusion?

I hope there is more, because I can't really see or hear anything that would suggest the gun fired.

At around 1:10 you can see and hear what it looks like from the cockpit when the gun is firing.

I'm hoping that Belarus authorities would release more info. But, there is no such thing as a bad publicity. A YouTube channel with 135 subscribers got 38,000 views for a 20 second clip. That being said most folks came for the comments and were not disappointed.

They started making up excuses that balloons could have been filled with poisonous gas so a decision has been made to shoot them down.

Excellent target practice.

Can we have a whip-round, and put $$ in them?

Army units have entered Minsk, but so far they have avoiding direct contact with the protest. Most likely Lukashenko's own generals are scared that the serviceman will simply change side if they stop, so the orders are just do drive around as intimidation tactic.

The belarusians? could teach the yanks a thing or 2, about rioting, like form a team, work together etc.

And its easy to deploy the army, at these times, its a lot harder to have them shoot their brothers/sisters, mums and dads.

Looks like thousands to me - can I have a job RT?

 

[Fluff]

Seems like a lot of half assed/cant be bothered stuff from the presidents side.

I mean there only seems to be one leader - not exactly the ba'ath party in Iraq?

I'm wondering if some special tea is going to be served soon, and I dont mean gin....

They do have the best sarcastic chants of any protest.

RTs "dozens" of supporters. Looks like 1.5 dozen on screen. The best undermining propaganda quote their producers could come up.

Another non event day in Belarus with a few seconds brawl as attention catcher.
There was a chance of wet tshirt competition at the end of the day when heavy rain pissed down on the parade but journalists do what they are paid to do so there was no overtime.
