The amusing thing is, that it seems the attacks have been facilitated by Ukrainian poor OPSEC regarding phones

"I think UK and Japan was allies just before WWII, that did not stop them breaking their words."
The alliance between Japan and the UK ended in 1923, long before the Second World War.
VOICE SUPPRESSION BY EUROPEAN AUTHORITIESJust imagine the pressure faced by any one articulating different views from the mainstream ones in the NATO land!
GOODBYE FROM **ASB MILITARY NEWS** ON COVERAGE OF RUS-US/NATO WAR ON UKR SOIL
In light of recent developments in the information-sharing community/OSINT & news— the team has decided to end our coverage of the Ukraine-Russia war. It’s too risky for some members of our team who reside in countries where authorities don’t tolerate people providing alternative coverage to the mainstream narrative and they refuse to take that risk. We hope you guys find good coverage elsewhere. We will continue to cover the Middle East as normal.

I guess the persecution like this intimidates many bloggers / posters in the West to show their supportive stance on RUSSIA against the EUROPEAN AUTHORITIES, esp. if they have some significance in the internet. Now we know WHY less and less voices showing support for Russia... the authorities in the west are suppressing such voices using legal arms and coercive power!
Read below story!
The author of one of the main Russian-language YouTube channels on military topics was arrested in Riga, Latvia. European authorities want to accuse him of treason because of the pro-Russian orientation of his videos

The History of Weapons YouTube channel has become one of the main patriotic amateur sites on YouTube in recent weeks. Its author, Kirill Fedorov, published in it analyzes of hostilities and did not hide his pro-Russian positions. The videos went into trends and gained millions of views, which the EU authorities did not like very much.
Permanently residing in Latvia, Kirill decided to emigrate to Russia, seeing how the foreign policy situation was deteriorating. Moreover, from the very beginning of the military operation, the blogger began to receive regular threats - he was obsessively offered to change the direction of his videos to anti-Russian, promising otherwise serious problems with the authorities. But on March 17, just before his departure, right in his parents' apartment, he was detained by state security agencies without explanation. After the 48 hours required by European law, he was not released, and his relatives and lawyer were threatened with problems if they spoke to the Russian press. As Readovka managed to find out, Fedorov was detained upon appeal to Latvia by the European authorities - he is accused of cooperation with Russia and will be charged with treason. In particular, he is charged with cooperation with Russian intelligence.
The situation is complicated by the fact that Fedorov is a citizen of Latvia, and that pressure is being exerted on his relatives, who are currently in Riga - people are extremely intimidated and afraid to talk to anyone. It is obvious that the European authorities will use this case to put pressure on everyone who provides at least some media support to Russia. In modern Europe, there can no longer be two opinions on the issue of our country.
You'd be surprised how easy it is to turn people into zombies nowadays. The more we know how human psychology works the easier it is to push all the right buttons, especially when all you need is to take control of the dumber 90% of the population in a democracy. China can simply block it with firewall, Europe has exactly zero defense against it.
The point of my rant above is that the EU political structure is its inherent weakness when dealing with competing large nation states like the U.S., China or a hostile Russia. It simply lacks the same nimbleness, coherency and singular focus.
Which might explain why it gets outmanoeuvred from time to time on the political grand stage.

[ VIDEO ] From Russian MOD:
Ka-52 helicopter crews delivered air strikes at the military infrastructure of Ukrainian nationalists, covering Mi-8 transport and combat helicopters, air escort of military convoys, including humanitarian cargo.
Flights take place at extremely low altitudes, which requires maximum concentration and quick reaction from the pilot to the changing situation.
Modern on-board defense system helps the helicopter crew to provide fire impact on the aircraft and timely apply protection against MANPADS.
A wide range of helicopter weapons make it possible to destroy camouflaged armored vehicles, shelters, control points and manpower of nationalists at long ranges during the day and at night.

The next 10 days should show just how adaptable Russian military planners and commanders are to the facts on the ground!
What's your estimation regarding the losses for both sides?
I put it around 7k-9k KIA and 10k-12k KIA
I’ve no idea! I’m not a bean-counter. I’m more interested in processes. At this point, it doesn’t seem that casualties are factoring into decision-making processes.
