You know, I thought I was seeing chaff when I watched it yesterday on a big monitor, but watching today on my phone I don't see the same thing.
They're obviously using at least 2 different flare variants, one of which does not leave much of a smoke trail. So maybe I was just seeing these low-smoke flares.
The shot in question occurs at 0:19.
Hard to tell. Given the video is of a test of the "Thermic Defensive Flares System" I'd wager they were pyrophoric flares like the M211/212.

Nice BRRRRRT clip from Syria.

Anyone knows what's being released at the end of the video starting at 00:56? Looks like sparks coming from aft of the wheel wells, but not flares. Sparks from chaff release perhaps? Any radar guided threats in Syria?
