Good catch of yours!
I've missed this frame somehow...
However, I can admit my errors and live with it.
Congratulations!
It does not matter Mi-25 or Mi-35. It was surprising that the Syrian helicopter operated by Russian military personnel. More importantly, ISIS it could not knock down.

If you'll remember that Russian crew were Torzhok Center instructors and test pilots...
But why ISIS could not take it out? A fire splash near stearing propeller reductor (on a tailbooms "knee") could not be a reductor destruction by technical issue - it is too bright for this. However, I've not caught any missile trail towards the helo before the blast (TOW-2 hit version), while the blast very resembles a cumulative burst hit.

The second helicopter began to shoot Infrared countermeasure. The pilot knows what happened.

However, CHAFF/Flares launch will tell us nothing as far it starts automatically when pilot press weapons fire button since mid Afgan war to prevent pilots from forgot to do it on attack exit.

Very big explosion from falling anti-aircraft machine gun.
Could be true if 23mm+
But it resembles me rather cumulative ATGM warhead hit.

I told you to shoot down flying a helicopter from ATGM 2nd generation, is almost impossible. In addition, the missile is quite large and the video should be visible. There is a theory that he was hit by "friendly fire" from the rocet weapons of the second helicopter. I also don't believe it. Getting one missile S-8 in this helicopter, will tear it to shreds. Apparently, it was a technical fault.

Cauldron is complete for all practical purposes. The remaining Aleppo "moderates" are about to be sniffed out.

To me, this is an indication that ISIS is making some last ditch efforts at inflicting maximum damage beffore they are wiped out for the area:
