I thought the missile had an IFF function - interesting to see that a Russian made missile can shoot down a Russian jet.
`Spose an infra-red seeker head just looks for something hot...
Thoughts are that it was a modified version of Igla (GROM-M) developed by Poland or a captured 9k333 verba also photographed on the battlefield.
Today was a bad day for Russian aircraft and helicopters at low level so potentially something changed and it could be the introduction of the Polish missiles.
