Footage shows a close call with disaster as a Russian Su-25 Frogfoot pilot decides to do a low level pass over friendly field artillery units... just as the Grad rocket truck begins firing. The pilot can be seen banking hard as soon as he realizes his mistake.

It's unclear from the footage exactly where this was recorded. It's possible it came from a training area in Siberia based on video metadata.
