Maybe the PLAAF will realize how dumb it is to use rocket pods on aircrafts
Stupid question. Is Ka-52 or any attack heli of any nation can be feed the views of drones? I mean the drone transmit top down footage to heli. For better view angle, larger battlefields vision, etc.
Investment in the flare industry is probably a good thing... wow !
There is a Chinese cultural thread for this.
It's really best left there, because this can (and has) go on for pages because Chinese identity and Han identity don't have a good analog in Western culture, so the idea of ethnicity/nationality becomes really blurry.
For Ka-52 it was planned back in the late 2000's. But never materialized on account of the drone manufacturer Kamov was planning to work with going bankrupt.
Edit
Well, correction apparently drone integration was on the cards again this time for Ka-52M
Destroyed Ukrainian IL-76 in Melitopol; the Melitopol airbase once housed over a dozen heavy lift aircraft, all have seemingly been destroyed by Russian forces.

There were/are no Russian troops there. This must have been an gunship or attack plane strike by one or more such aircraft. It demonstrates the great risk that the Ukrainians face when moving a large number of vehicles across large distances.
The Russians seems to hit parked aircraft near the cockpits to destroy it but keep as many parts salvageable as possible?
You can argue or even dispute whether "Ukrainian" is a qualified ethnic identity, but to downright it doesn't exist (or is entirely made up) is nothing less of horrifying. The history of Germany separation of only a couple of decades certainly does NOT mean that "East Germany" can ever be qualified as an separate ethnicity, as they will only be considered a regional identity. Same goes with Vietnam and Korea.
Oh, there are! During the Japanese occupation in Taiwan, Korea and Manchuria, there are efforts called “皇民化运动”, with the clear purpose of destroying people's ethnic and national identity. The same with Anschluss. However, the Germans and Japanese did NOT have the audacity to just blatantly declare that Austrians does exists, or that Korean, Taiwanese, Manchuria doesn't exist. The German's offer the idea of a "Greater Germany". The Japanese offered the idea of "皇民", aka, being subject of a new sovereign. Of course these movements by Japan and Germany was for the sake of their colonizing and invasion, and effective work to weaken people's beliefs and allegiance in their own former identity. But comparing to Russia's current blunt and blatant approach to just downright deny the Ukrainian identity's existence, the Japs and Krauts at least looked more sensible and in-touch with reality back then!
The distinction being "blurred" is very different from saying that a certain identity does NOT exist.

Couldn’t be certain, but this looks very much like footage I’d seen much earlier in the war, so feels like recycled old footage at first glance.
