Ukraine’s armed forces on Wednesday downed four Russian helicopters in 18 minutes in the south of the country.
Between 8.40am and 8.58am, anti-aircraft missile units of Ukraine’s Air Force managed to hit the Russian aircrafts, it was claimed.
“Combat work was carried out on two more helicopters, so there is a high probability that the number of confirmed down helicopters will increase,” the Air Force said in a press release.
It was claimed one Russian helicopter, believed to be a Ka-52, crashed on territory recently liberated from Russian-backed militants, while the rest crashed behind enemy lines.
The helicopters were said to be “providing fire support to ground occupation troops in the southern direction” when they were gunned down.
The claims were partially confirmed by pro-Russian sources on the Telegram messaging app.

No, wait, it was 42!
Wow, they shot down the same helo 6 times. Impressive.
63 helicopters, by an 11 year old, with an antique double barrel shotgun. The truly unbelievable part was he only had 2 boxes of shells.
We need to get John Sherman, Department of Defense
Chief Information Officer, to back off propagandizing FreeRepublic and the rest of American citizens.
Propagandists are in our DoD and we know they’re operating at many sites, not just Facebook and Twitter, like here as you’ll notice when you view their profiles “in forum.”
Excerpt:
“The takedowns in recent years by Twitter and Facebook of more than 150 bogus personas and media sites created in the United States was disclosed last month by internet researchers Graphika and the Stanford Internet Observatory. While the researchers did not attribute the sham accounts to the U.S. military, two officials familiar with the matter said that U.S. Central Command is among those whose activities are facing scrutiny. Like others interviewed for this report, they spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss sensitive military operations.“
And another:
“”One diplomat put it this way: “Generally speaking, we shouldn’t be employing the same kind of tactics that our adversaries are using because the bottom line is we have the moral high ground. We are a society that is built on a certain set of values. We promote those values around the world and when we use tactics like those, it just undermines our argument about who we are.””
Pentagon opens sweeping review of clandestine psychological operations

Ukrainian “farmers and miners” continue smashing Russian military hardware to pieces. Is it snowing yet in Kherson?
Sounds like the Kherson front.
The Russian loss of logistics, precluding the use of artillery other than that which is stationed across the Dneiper, seems to have forced the increased use of air assets. And this has always exposed Russian aircraft to manpads.
Thats why Russian aircraft have taken to “lobbing” rocket pods on ballistic trajectories. Its not much better than random harassment, but its safe.
If they are desperate and without artillery they may have ordered the helos in in a direct fire role.
Its a good thing then that the Ukrainians are led by their own generals.
Kherson. And Putin’s new general sent those pilots on a suicide mission.
We need to get more bare chested Putin on horseback photos. Strongman fetish stronk here.
All supported by the Arma 3 gameplay videos. That’s because shotgun grandpa is having hangovers and pickle jar lady has period.
“We need to get more bare chested Putin on horseback photos. Strongman fetish stronk here.”

Putin is going to get more junk from Iran? How humiliating for a “super power” to be begging Iran and North Korea for military support.
