Terrifying moment Russian helicopter accidentally opens fire on bystanders with MISSILES due to 'technical glitch' during Zapad 2017 war games, seriously injuring two people link |

Was the technical glitch the pilot or the bystanders? |

Maybe it was a " What does this do moment " |

Probably attacked the bystanders out of habit |

There are always out of impact area "incidents" in military live fire training. Everything from artillery impacting in a subdivisions to Bradley IFV brewing up their wingman. Not acceptable but reality. |

@ScoutJock – yeah, short rounds etc. It happens. For some reason, live fire of weapons systems is dangerous and on occasion people get injured or killed when operating them. Can't think why? |
