The Russians evacuated their remaining NON-DESTROYED helicopters from their Kherson air base by truck because they were afraid of being shot down by the Ukrainian special forces.

Pretty stupid and desperate for the Russians to put a helicopter on a flat bed truck for transport over those roads.

Wouldn’t you say the first stupid was getting caught on the ground earlier? They’re FLYING machines. But if they had guns maybe the trucker guys found a way to arm up? I could see being a doorgunner on a flat bed?

“Russia launched more than 300 fighter jet and bomber sorties over the last 24 hours in an escalation of its air war, the Pentagon said Monday, as Russian leader Vladimir Putin continues an indiscriminate aerial bombardment of Ukrainian cities and infrastructure.”
