Look it up for your self you wanted to see the pattern here's another. This one is from an actual buk manual. Seems I have no problem finding information on it why do you?
I have a problem with finding consistent information, sofar it exploded from above, below, left, right of the plane, or different combinations of that, and I have seen a variety of supposed blast patterns.
Shall I go with the latest one you posted? So it exploded from the front and below with a 360 degree round and forward blast?

Wrong plane try the one he's filming wow really!?
Now you are just trying to be dishonest. Wow indeed.
This is obviously the cockpit of a Su25. Do I really need to go and make a side by side comparison with little arrows pointing out the similarities?
Or are you just going to admit that you are lying on purpose.
Come on now, these aren't honest mistakes anymore.
