At this point, how can the Russians actions be interpreted as anything other than either tactical incompetence or ineptitude? They claim, I believe, that their tactical helos can operate from unprepared forward airfields, yet, during active-combat, they line them up on an airbase within enemy strike-range? These things should be hidden in the terrain under camo nets.
Yeah, it looks like they're simply not anticipating any long range strike. It would makes sense if they're certain they've taken out all of enemy's long range fire... which is clearly not the case here
I think this shows just how useless so called war experience is. Russian has been in Syria for many years, but experience in fighting irregulars cannot translate to fighting a modern army with nato support.... I'd say the PLA officer's experience in getting their asses kicked in Zhu Ri He is way more valuable than US military's decades of so called experience in playing wack-a-mole in middle east

Some helicopters are on fire but no one bothered to fly the others away. there is no reason to park choppers there as the place will be less than 50km air distance from Crimea.
I think these are Ukranian choppers that Russian pilots who are used glass cockpit now may not be able to fly them.

any evidence those are actual Russian helicopters and not captured Ukrainian ones?
Russian helicopters and Ukrainian ones could be very different owing to recent modernizations.
Hello guys,
these information were already posted and discussed on page 1279ff. I kindly request to verify the content of this thread before posting "news". Yes, it might be taking some time to go through, but for all readers and participants of this forum it would be a relief not to see the same information a couple times.
Thanks to all.
Regards

Well at this point regardless of what actually been shot. Media will simply paint it as Russian helicopters regardless of who actually own the helicopters. Remember we are in the era of "Hype first ask questions later"
