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.

If you go back and re-read the "intelligence" reports from an year or so back, Putin is already dead, but funny, he certainly looks and acts better than Criminal Joe Biden.
As if Putin dying would change anything
Shows how incredibly ignorant you are of the reality of Russia, Ukraine, etc...
But its OK, keep spouting stupid slogans you got from the MSM. That's encouraged here on FR
“The Ukraine haters are just gasbags.”
There are two types. Half are Ron Paul acolytes who don’t want the US to spend one thin dime abroad. The other half have invested in fake Tsar Putin, as their anti-GloboHomo crusader and savior. Even though Poot has attended many WEF conferences at Davos. It seems like 5-6 or so.

Introducing Putin to a virtual Davos gathering in January 2021, Schwab called Putin’s voice “essential” in world affairs, echoing a comment from 2009 that he could not think of a single issue of global importance that could be solved without Russia’s involvement. The pair last met in mid-2021, when Schwab told Putin of the “particular importance” he attaches to Russian representatives taking part in Davos events.

This is good news then, we no longer have to give Ukraine money anymore, right?
Russia has OVER 1,000 combat helicopters.
Yet the loss of 9 makes a headline?
re pic in #3 -
if Putin is so “Christian” why hasn’t he condemned Hamas’ baby-murdering and kidnapping, including 30 kids?
it’s almost like Putin thinks it’s OK to kill and kidnap Jewish kids
I know what you mean.
You didn’t answer my question.
The man who replaces Putin is going to be hard core and make Putin look like a pussy cat.

Lol You got it right.
You’re going to freak out when you see Putin’s replacement.
But you probably think Biden is going to save us so it doesn’t matter.
You are ignorant of the current power structure in Russia and to compare Hitler in 1945 to Putin in 2023 is simply stupid.
and you have no proof the “next guy” after Putin will be worse
You don’t know what you’re talking about.
Bye...have a good day.
and you’re paranoid over nothing
and you’re paranoid over nothing
><><
I’m not paranoid but it’s worrisome with people like Biden and Obama in charge on our side. They are very dangerous.
Trump knew how to handle people like Putin.
