Pretty much so close to the border should have been expected and better protected.

It'll be interesting to hear the story behind this one. Ground based AD can struggle to pick up low altitude intrusions, but I would expect some interceptor coverage to be on a constant rotation. My guess is that with all the friendly air traffic these ones managed to slip through.Serberus wrote:Lurk83 wrote:Seems like a Ukr helicopter attack on a fuel depot in Belgorod.

It is open war, in case you all still do not understand.
Shit happens in war, you can not prevent everything.

Avionics on those old Mi-24 are not like on Ka-52. And it's not some Iraq-level AD they were flying against, plenty of radar coverage to get themselves pinged even when flying low, not to mention probable AWACS detection. And it's not some US flight school training, but Soviet school legacy.
In the end, Mi-24 are support helicopters, using them even in such a daring manner is a sign of desperation ... Ukrainians could be achieved more with Tochka-U strikes

They have very little in the way of material assets left. Short of NATO supplying them with more armor/logis/rotary wing/essentially total-rearmament UAF is well and truly in a hole. I am guessing the finishing moves are about to be executed.mr_hd wrote:What real worry should be is that conflict is still showing signs of further escalation and no signs of any slow down, so we have full blown war out of control.
Ukraine proved to be much more tough cake than anyone east or west could predict.
Those news from Belgorod are shocking and skills and balls to do it are quite high.
I think Russia will get much bigger trouble long road with Ukraine and someone with a lot of brain should start to think way out asap.

"Russia has accused Ukrainian helicopters of attacking an oil facility inside Russia after flying 25 miles undetected past the border, amid claims the Kremlin could stage a 'false flag' attack to justify a further escalation of the war. "
