[mitch96]

10. Yup, a plain old garden variety RPG's could take out those helo's on the ground.. Bravo!!

Salva Ukraine

[Wounded Bear]

18. Yeah, Javelins are for use against armored vehicles...

no need to waste them on grounded helos, which have minimal armor, if any.

28. Saw that already, it needs to be confirmed by other sources

Something that large would have likely been declared by the Ukrainians or reported by OSINT or others

[MaryMagdaline]

8. I'm starting to think Ukrainians were responsible for Soviet victories in WWII

These are some exceptionally tough, smart people

[Wounded Bear]

20. Some Ukrainians fought with Germany in WWII...

after the famines of the 30's, they hated the Soviets and many of them greeted the Germans like liberators. Several divisions of UKR troops signed up to fight the Soviets. Ukrainian civilians though, once they realized that the NAZIs were no better and maybe worse than the Soviets were, formed partisan units that made vast swaths of their territory unsafe for unarmed Germans to travel through.

Of course, after the war, Stalin didn't trust the partisans and punished many of them even further.

Ukraine was screwed by both sides in WWII.

[IronLionZion]

14. This is turning out to be an expensive war for Russia

at some point they should be unable or unwilling to continue losing this much.

[Beetwasher.]

15. Even 1/2 of what we're hearing is true

It’s remarkably impressive. Incredible. Legendary.

[stollen]

17. If we keep control of Russian/Swiss et al bank accounts....

and the yachts, etc through Nov., it might place a hold on all the Russian money coming in to fund GQP campaigns.

[turbinetree]

16. K&R....IF I could ever get to meet some of these brave men / women .....

I would like to buy them a drink. a lot of GD drinks...............clap:

[Disaffected]

19. Wasn't that first photo

shown here a couple of weeks ago?

[Quixote1818]

21. I just googled it and yes it's an old photo from the 25th of February. Maybe they just used a stock

photo to talk about the story? It snowed all over Ukraine yesterday so anything from yesterday has a couple of inches of snow in the scene.

30. Yeltsin's foreign minister says it's a "Potemkin military"

...because a lot of the money for modernization ended up buying yachts in Cyprus.
