You know what's funny? I would bet that this helicopter has successfully returned unharmed to its base..
Either they weren't deployed or the crew is slacking.... either way no excuse for the Russians, they keep making assumptions on their enemy and paying for it. Valiant effort from Ukr pilots
What's most impressive is actually the fact that they have the strategic intelligence to conduct such an operation. This is quite strategic. As this fuel station would be an important logistic node supporting the Russian operations against Kharkov. I think they are backed by US intelligence.The Ukies seized the moment, impressively indeed, with what's left of their airforce that's all.
The Su-24 downed yesterday might have tried the same to no avail.
And Houthis do this regularly, against US and RSAF defenses.
This will probably be a one trick pony but still, slow clap...
Ukies must have been fed intel about air movements by US/NATO ISR I suppose. And yes, the VKS might want to pay more attention, but these night witches/ bedcheck charlie attacks are definitely hard to detect. Pantsir and Tor crews might have been caught sleeping
Where tf is the Russian Airforce lmao
How could they let this happen?
Where's the SHORAD?
Some people on twitter speculated that they flew from Kharkov, and no. What good is it to do a false flag now on one of your important strategic resources. There was pro-Russian people in twitter thinking Russia let it happen so that they can escalate their attack (Sounds like cope to me but ok).Could be a false flag attack? I doubt Ukrainian helicopters can even fly that far.
We have known from almost day 1 that NATO has been feeding them intelligence.What's most impressive is actually the fact that they have the strategic intelligence to conduct such an operation.

Its a helicopter. Their whole thing is to fly low. You can't simply defend all your positions with air defences.Where tf is the Russian Airforce lmao

Is this a joke? Last time i checked Russia has some AWACSWe have known from almost day 1 that NATO has been feeding them intelligence.

Its simple, Russia needs AWACs. Time for some AWACs salesmen to do their job. We got plenty of good products to offer to Russia
