Dragons?
Destroy all that is evil, so what is good may flourish.

Guns cause crime like flies cause garbage.

This was posted last week but I don't know what the consensus was

Re: What's these flaming flying things in Russia?
cool
so solved: kites steered from the water? with flares behind it. Fun video though.

so changing from 2 to 4 'objects' it was just 2 other flares finally igniting with delay? I found that the only weird thing actually

Re: What's these flaming flying things in Russia?
Hard to get a correct perspective form vid, but it appears that the objects are some distance from the camera and cover a distance of MILES during the clip. They also obey all the rules of physics regarding powered flight as we know it...

Nice vid, which suggests to me military jet fighters in precision formation flying & acrobatics. The trail is interesting in that it seems to glow where it it emitted from the objects and there are sparks flying too.

Smaller objects are ejected towards the end, flares?

I don't know what it is but nothing on the vid suggests any aviation technology beyond what the Russians have.

Tnx for posting OP.

Hmmm. After viewing the vid again and reading thru the thread, it does seem to fly a bit like a... kite!
