What are those lights that keep "falling behind"? Anti missile flares?
Yeah, the A-50 apparently knows it is under attack and is launching anti-IR flares. It is also launching anti-radar chaff, though you wouldn't be able to see that on video at night.
Yup. Around the 50 sec mark a missile hits one of them off to the right, before another hits the plane itself a bit later.
this could be anti-missile missile shot by russian SAM
