According to a British assessment, successful Ukrainian attacks on Russian helicopter bases in Ukraine represent a significant blow to the Russian occupiers, as reported by the German news website n-tv.de.
The UK Ministry of Defence reports that Berdyansk in the south of Ukraine, where presumably nine attack helicopters were destroyed, served as an important base for the Russians for their operations along the southern front. “If confirmed, these losses are likely to impact Russia’s ability to defend this axis and conduct further offensive activities.”
In the attacks on October 17, Russia apparently also lost five helicopters in Luhansk in eastern Ukraine. This marked the first proven use of US-made ATACMS missiles, whose extended range allows for attacks far behind the frontlines.
This week, Ukraine employed the ATACMS missiles for the first time, which were supplied by the USA to defend against the Russian attack. According to military expert Nico Lange, speaking to the German news platform ZDF, the delivered version of the ATACMS (Army TACtical Missile System) has a range of 165 kilometers. This is an increase of 75 kilometers compared to the missiles previously used by Ukraine, as explained by the military expert. The HIMARS missiles, which have been used for some time, have a range of only 90 kilometers.

“Pray for Peace”
You are really praying for pathetic Putin, and his skunked war against Ukraine.
“Serious setback for Russia: 9 Attack helicopters and base destroyed”
So much for 16. Maybe next week lower?
We are all god’s children, one nation, indivisible, for justice and Peace. Amen.
See, Ukraine is doing so well against Russia—she no longer needs our help. Victory is just around the corner!
Victory is just around the corner. With just another $100 Billion and another 50,000 Ukrainian men and boys used as cannon fodder this thing could be wrapped up after the next Spring offensive. If it results in the death of just one more Russian soldier it will be a great investment!
Right on!
When do you think Russia will surrender?
They haven't already, ugh, I better stop reading the FR posts on this topic.
Yeah, Putin’s a real Christian./s You can tell by his actions. What a bunch of Moscow crap!
No one ever claimed 16, propagandist.
“When do you think Russia will surrender?”
When do you think? And will you like it?
When Putin is dead, which I hope is soon.
Very Low IQ
Putin sure likes to kill God’s children.
The Ukraine haters are just gasbags.
“No one ever claimed 16, propagandist.”
You’re right, it was 20. But then I probably shouldn’t use a Ukrainian site for information.
