Im seeing video upon video of Russia attacking areas. I just watched the helicopter airfield assault. I dont see any video of the Ukraine mounting much of a defense or putting their helicopters in the air.

(10,098 posts)Ukrainian military claimed that they have shot down five Russian jets and helicopters in the eastern region, as Russian troops moved into the neighbouring country's territories. "The combined forces give a worthy rebuff to the armed forces of the Russian Federation. Military units in their positions. The enemy suffers losses," the Ukrainian military claimed.

(28 posts)Shooting down jets and helicopters would be a morale booster. Baghdad Bob told us the US was in full retreat as The Iraq Army was being crushed so video would be good to see.

(21,137 posts)Ukraine actually repelled the invasion of one small town. Right now it's mostly air raids to soften things up though and those are hard to defend against.
I think the anti tank defenses of Ukraine will really take a toll on Russian forces, but it's going to be about the will to fight relatively quickly IMO. Ukrainians might see living under Putin as preferable to continued war.
