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.

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.

Ukraine's Air Defense Stockpile Depleted Despite Successful Russian Targets.

Jordanian 9M33M2 surface-to-air missiles, which are less capable than Ukraine's 9M33M3 variant, have reportedly been transferred to Ukraine, possibly through a third party, to bolster its air defense systems against Russian airstrikes. The missiles are for the mobile short-range tactical surface-to-air missile system 9K33 Osa, which has extensive combat experience and is in service in 24 countries. Ukraine has received donations of the same system from other countries since the beginning of the war.
