Warthog and Frogfoot in low level action

Post by hornise »

In February, during the Thracian Thunder 2016 exercise a small group of photographers had the unique chance to shoot the two tank busters in low level action near the city of Pazardzhik, Bulgaria.

Holy sh.. Fantastic - were these taken from the ground? It looks like air-to-air, but the videos made me uncertain :P
