The other day a story broke about how a Turkish pilot evaded a missile attack by the use of skill. It appears the PKK (Kurds) hit a Turkish observation post with a missile and waited for the the Medi-vac helicopter to pop along so as to knock it out of the sky. However, initial videos led to many proclaiming the pilot saw what was happening and took action. it appears that at the end of the day like so many things in war, it was down to pure luck.
