"I’ve heard that helos have been known to fly to and from ships stationed off of a coast."

I've seen it with my own two Airdale eyes.

From the blowback I got on post # 25 I guess Russian ships aren’t capable

Any ship with a flat deck.

The Mi-8 has about a 400 NM range without external auxiliary fuel cells. So, even more with this cells.

Snake Island is about 180 miles west of Crimea. Which makes that flight and mission absolutely doable from Russian- controlled Crimea.

So I’ve given you two absolutely plausible scenarios now.

From the photos I've seen of Russian cruisers, destroyers, and frigates, they all have helo access on the fantail.

I saw a night video video of a transport next to a rapter ship. It had people moving about and a missile hit and you could clearly see one person flying up and off to one side a long ways and after the blast there were still bodies on one side of the transport.

Report: Looks like, yet again, Ukraine was lying. Russian Troops had withdrawn from Snake Island. The chopper we see in the videos was Ukrainian. The Russians slaughtered a Ukraine counter offensive. Details.......

Sorry, but it’s hard to take anything said by this ponce wearing a shirt emblazoned with the Russian imperial double-headed eagle as anything but pro-Putin propaganda.

The Duran is linked to Russian media and its owner is from Moscow. Believe this crap at your own risk.

And yet they pollute the site daily, following around trolling the ones who try to show the reality of the hideous invasion.

It’s a shame for sure.
