Unusual contrails in the sky over the seashore had left fighter jets during a training exercise

Thursday, 25 October, residents of Vladivostok, Artem, Nakhodka and Fokino noticed in the sky an unusual dashed lines. Witnesses, trying to explain the mysterious phenomenon, speculated about UFOs, but it was the trace of the plane.

According to eyewitnesses, about 5-6 PM flying object did a few laps, leaving behind a dotted trail, and then disappeared. Primorye filmed on camera in their mobile phones and wondered what kind of traces left in the sky. Some suggested that over Primorye test new military equipment, others talked about UFOs.

"I am a military pilot in the past and what was seen tonight in the sky over the edge, beyond my understanding of the physical and aerodynamic processes. I have extensive experience in jet aircraft L-29, MiG-15, MiG-17 and Tu-16. Usually, the vapor trail remains continuous, and is clearly visible dotted line. It is very unclear! Then he quickly changed the direction, and for such speeds is very difficult. Not included in the scope of reasonable. I am inclined to the fact that it's something like a UFO... the Object was disc-shaped and the speed is awesome. Height, in my opinion, 10 000 meters", – the eyewitness tells Rashit.

Retired tactical aviation Eugene commented for VL.ru seen:

"There are several options. This is either a wind rose or a difference in pressure, or it arose because of the direction of flow of wind in the higher atmosphere. That is, there is cold and there is hot air... If it's a jet fighter, for example, it may be due to afterburner. About version about dumping fuel hard to say... I know that there is a special zone where military aircraft can drop and dump fuel due to the difference of pressure to the tanks not broke," says a military retiree.

Typically, these traces remain in the sky during a partial reset of the fuel in the air. Note that today in the skies over Primorye held a flight of fighter aircraft. So, citizens could see a supersonic high-altitude all-weather fighter-interceptor MiG-31.

The comment to the video from Valentina Galich:

I like the pilot tell you: it's the effect of draining the fuel. Why intermittent? Because the pilot makes turning on and off of the drain. As the drain pressure is high and the speed is great, sprayed and in the sun, the trail illuminated. About 2 seconds turned it on, 1 sec off. Why not just turn on but pulses? So that the recording command is not prescribed. Otherwise being punished for it. Plums by the user is performed only when absolutely necessary — quickly to land with normal landing weight, but most often only required in an emergency.

The dotted traces, which appeared in the evening of 25 October in the sky over Vladivostok, Nakhodka, Artem, Fokino, was left during the exercise fighter aircraft. The su-30M2 consistently have reset several glowing bombs, which simulated air targets of the enemy. Fire at targets was carried out with missiles "air-air" with a distance from 20 to 40 kilometers. Total was made more than 10 starts. After the successful actions of the fighter-interceptor MiG-31 in the air up two pairs of su-35S, which struck the air "enemy" using a 30-mm aircraft guns.
