Russia's Failure to Learn: Helicopter Shot Down Reveals Weakness

Ukrainian forces have destroyed three Russian Ka-52 attack helicopters this week, with one incident captured on video. A former US general commented that the video highlights the inexperience and inability of Moscow's pilots to learn critical lessons, as they were flying at an altitude that left them vulnerable to ground-launched missiles. The downing of the helicopters suggests weaknesses in Russian tactics, while also showcasing the adaptability of the Ukrainian military. The exact number of Russian pilot casualties remains unclear, but the losses indicate a potential shortage of experienced pilots.
