Yeah you are right, on first look it appeared to me as if it would be looking up from the ground while it was actually looking down on it from behind and slightly above.

@ Blighty I dont think Colombia wants war with russia, they just intercept the cheeky intruder.

You could use it as a CMANO plot though, imagine they did shoot one down and the russians send more to retaliate against the Kfir´s homebase.
