#BREAKING: Incredible footage released by #Ukrainian Air Force shows use of AGM-88B HARM anti-radiation missiles by MiG-29 fighter interceptors of 204th Tactical Aviation Brigade based in Kulbakino air base of #Nikolayev against #Russian Air defense systems in #Kherson Oblast👇

For those who want to see the #US made AGM-88B HARM anti-radiation missiles on these #Russian made MiG-29 fighters of #UkrainianAirForce better:

This is the moment of launch of the AGM-88B HARM anti-radiation missiles by a Kulbakino based MiG-29 of #UkrainianAirForce:

GSh-30-1 30mm cannon of MiG-29 is heavily powerful and when you pull the the trigger, it vibrates that much your GPS receiver can fall like this👇

As expected, the #UkrainianAirForce has No AN/ASQ-213 HARM targeting system on their MiG-29s for use of AGM-88B HARM anti-radiation missiles!Therefore, they fire them fee zero. To do that, you need to fly close enough to the #Russian air defense to get a lock with missile sensor!
