The picture below is the the 6th Russian fighter aircraft to be shot down. This is from FB


That picture is over 20 years old and from an airshow where two planes collided. The image was flipped so it doesn't show up on reverse image search.

Yeah, Like I said, I got that from FB. The info is accurate, the picture is not.

If the info came from KievPost then it isn’t accurate.

Didn’t see it from anywhere else.

It's odd that you are so confident in the accuracy of this information when it came accompanied with a fake picture

Holy shite, a Russian KA-52 attack helicopter has been shot down. This is Russia's most advanced attack helicopter

Close up video of the wreckage

Believe what you want man, but it doesn't take a rocket scientist to see what's going on

Part of a video. I wonder if this one had that cage.

I find it hard to believe that seven jets have been shot down already. If thats true, then all the shite we gave ukraine works pretty good and Russia's airforce is pretty shitty.

I was about to say if it’s true 7 of Russias Air Force planes have been struck down already then that can’t bode well for Russia’s supposedly strong military

No doubt. Where are you getting this info from?

This is interesting. This is the first time I have seen this. I wonder how effective it is.

Might have to hit a tank twice?

I wonder why it is so hard to bring down copters. It seems that a rocket trailing a long strong cable would entangle and destroy the rotor system.

The Javelin and most modern anti-tank weapons use a top-down attack mode. The missile flies over the tank explodes on top where the armor is the weakest.

The Javelin also has a direct attack mode but the side and front of a tank obviously have the thickest armor.

Javelins can attack directly as well as from above the target. Javelin info link: LINK

Just went looking;
this is from Ukrainian testing Javelin on a target tank some time before today's attack.

So Ukraine has 44M people and 200,000 soldiers, but the president is offering weapons in the streets to the public to fight. That doesn't make much sense to me.

(Russia has 144M people and 800,000 soldiers)

Found a video of a Russian jet launching missiles at a civilian building with children inside. Children start crying after the impact. Really sad stuff.
