I'm sure that has been brought up in the past. But, has the war rendered attack helicopters obsolete? I would assume the time was coming anyways.
Didn't some cobras or Apaches get lit up during the Iraqi war on an offensive into one of the cities?
Maybe several were downed???

"Russia will try to get the remains of the MQ-9 #American drone that fell into the Black Sea," Russian Security Council Secretary Nikolai Patrushev wrote in Telegram.
Earlier, Russian political analyst Stanislav Belkovsky suggested that #Russia shot down the drone in order to capture its technology and, if successful, to set up joint production of a similar drone with #Iran.

Yes. About 30-40 Apache gunships got their asses kicked and turned back by the Iraqi army in the attack on Karbala in the initial invasion.

Much of that had to do with extreme lockdowns and waves of electricity shortages which shutdown entire manufacturing complexes. There have been global shortages of more than one thing because of these.
But they have Russia's anal cavity greased up and steadily putting it to them, with the barely above cost to produce oil.
Meanwhile Russian refineries are down at bankruptcy level production. Due loss of export market on top of previous loss from Covid. China and India aren't buying those products.
It has also lost 84% of its natural gas market and no way Russia's pissant LNG terminals can make that loss up. It won't be a pipeline to India which would have to go through a gap in the Himalayas (but still over mountains) through Kabul then Pakistan.

The Zaporizhzhia area has been very quiet lately, except for panicked reports from Russians about Ukraine's troop buildups. Today, there's apparently some action, as WarGonzo is not the only Russian source reporting this, from @wartranslated:

Ii honestly thing the "spring offensive" will happen earlier then the 2 month from now everyone is reporting.
my guess is the slow roll talk of equipment was a misinformation play and that enough are in country now or very soon soon, that we see something before russia is ready.
this would explain keeping Bakhmut occupied longer then needed
....but this is just my personal opinion....and i think we see a drive east of Tokmak.

Found this video interesting after the point that was raised that all Ukrainian soldiers look to be 35+.
On the Russian side the baby faced gent in the tweet video below is an officer.
Also some pertinent comments on how they view drones.

Not sure if this has been posted before, using photos they have been geolocating and documenting the destruction and casualties caused by the war via a zoomable map.
Eyes on Russia
Also Twitter - @bradyafr has updated his map where he uses satellite imagery to plot Russian defensive constructions in Ukraine and surrounding Russian borders.

Well, Polohy is east of Tokmak, so this reported reconassaince-in-force action would be in that area. It's an area that makes sense to me as well.
On Michael Kofman's podcast, he said that Ukraine is forming three completely new army corps in preparation for the offensive, with the likelihood that two of them are completely filled out with all appropriate subunits, and the third one may have some gaps and initially be used as a reserve corps or as a follow-on force for the offensive.
We know that the offensive isn't truly ready, because lots of the training on the latest equipment deliveries hasn't been completed yet -- the Ukrainian soldiers are still in France, Germany, etc.
But is it possible that Ukraine has already been able to go ahead and put together one of those army corps, and that this new army corps is already starting to work in southern Ukraine? I suppose it's possible.
But the mud is going to stay really bad until at least the end of the month, so I can't see how any real offensive action can really start until after that.

Polish services have broken up a spy network working for Russia. The group was supposed to conduct preparations for sabotage activities in our country. As the RMF FM reporter found out, officers of the Internal Security Agency detained 6 people in this case, and a security alert was introduced in connection with the activities of the network on railway routes and in the national critical infrastructure.
According to the journalist of RMF FM Krzysztof Zasada, six people detained by the ABW are foreigners from across our eastern border, who were supposed to work on behalf of the Russian special services. railway hidden cameras that recorded movement on the tracks and transmitted the image to the network. Dozens of devices of this type have been placed.
According to the information obtained by the RMF FM reporter, it appears that these are mainly sections of railway routes in the Podkarpackie Voivodship - among others, in the vicinity of the airport in Jasionka near Rzeszów. It is the main transfer point for Western arms and ammunition for Ukraine.
If this is accurate Poland is not going to be very happy.

Defmon3 is growing concerned that Avdiivka may be the next target for Russian advances based on the increased RUssian progression in the area creating another salient around the town that is NNE of Dontesk city.
