The only thing i think is accurate about it is the location not the way they describe the event ofc. The crash site might be closer to the armenian trench

Watch the video. It takes 4 to 5 seconds from the point the missile impact, to the helicopter hitting the ground. I know you can't directly see the ground where the helicopter crashed, but you can gesstimate based off the fireball . Your saying the rate of decent is 700fpm so that's about 12ft a second. How could they be flying at an altitude of 400-500ft if their rate of decent is 12ft/s, and they fall for 5 seconds?

You are forgetting about the increasing airspeed as the nose drops.........as I said rate of descent depends on alot of factors but at 700 ft per min and increasing airspeed it will take about 4 to 5 seconds as you say. You gotta be a pilot to understand it

When I guessed they were flying at 50 meters, I took the known length of a mi-24(17.5meters or 57ft) and tryied to judge how many helicopter lengths the helicopter was from the ground, before being hit. Take a look at it. If they were flying at 400ft the helicopter would be about 7 full lenghths away from the ground. It doesn't look like 7 lengths to me.

The terrain varies quite a bit in that area so helicopter vs impact point could be different than what the altimeter in the aircraft reads (that is if its set properly for correct barometric pressure of the area). To me they look about 4 to 5 hundred feet off the ground and it makes sense for training altitude. There were three pilots onboard which means they were switching flying pilot.

It's not something I came up with. Type "map of the earth flying" in Google and see what comes up.

The explanation is correct but the name is wrong....no such thing as Nap of the earth. Try Map of the ground, barnstorming, return home with leafs stuck to the bottom of your aircraft, flying under the radar, low level flying.

I thought the wreckage was on NKR side.......we must never leave the 3 pilots there, they must be returned no matter what it takes.....you don't leave your friends behind, even dead in the battlefield.

Now that something you don't see everyday......the president of a country in camo holding an AK.
We have trouble coming......something will give.

Oooooo. I see. I completely understand what you're saying. That just makes so much sense. I'm such an idiot.
