Mi28 down in Crimea, look’s poorly but repairable.
Mi-8 and SU-34 both crashed in Bryansk oblast, Mi-8 exploded in flight, hit by a sam probably. SU-35 flat spinned into the ground not on fire so probably a technical issue. Also claims another mi-8 crashed as well. Claims they were all shot down by russian AD. But only confirmed one was the Mi-8
so hard to keep up with, mi-28 in crimea
damn cant keep up mi-8 and su -34 confirmed by TASS both crews killed, alleged by rybar 2 more as well, 3 possible contenders, su-25, Mi-28 (crimea) and mi 24

SWIITZERLAND, yes Switzerland, have voted to change the law and will now supply arms to Ukraine!
Let’s hope they never destroyed all those Rapier systems and can supply Gepard ammo.

sabotage is being rumoured and the fact neither crew got out of the jet, tampered with seats as well?
There are unconfirmed claims on several popular Russian-military related Telegram channels that today Russia has lost 4 aircraft: 2 Mi-8 helicopters, a Su-34 fighter bomber aircraft, and a Su-25 ground attack aircraft.
Russian state-funded new agency TASS says the second crashed aircraft was a Su-34 fighter bomber.

The strings have well and truly been removed from the German purse, latest additions to Ukraine. There are also extra Gepards that don’t show up on the list apparently.

Reliable Russian sources claiming the Mi-8 helicopters shot down in Bryansk earlier today were highly sophisticated and very rare Mi-8 MTPR-1 electronic warfare platforms.
The Russian air force is thought to operate less than 20 of these aircraft.
All 4 reportied to have been operating together as part of same air group, SU-34 carrying out out a missile / bomb attack in the Chernihiv region with the SU-35 providing fighter escort and the Mi-8s EW support, all engaged at the same time.

If you've ever played a certain Falklands War wargame in an academic or other setting, you are probably familiar with the style of wargame where the two sides do not see each other and work in different rooms. A deciding factor I've found, in any wargame setup this way, is not the tactical choices you make. It's not the broader strategic approach or leadership style you bring to the fight. It's not the randomness of the dice ******* you over/helping you out. It's not the brilliance of your teammates.
You know who wins these wargames? The side with CoC experience. The side with data management skills. The side that fills every white board in the room with every piece of data they can get. The side that is tracking not just enemy losses but clearly displaying their remaining strength, force allocations, logistics constraints…

LUKASHENKO HOSPITALIZED
Belarussian opposition 🇧🇾 reports:
“According to our information, today at around 19:00, Lukashenka arrived at the Republican Clinical Medical Center of the Department of Police of the Republic of Belarus, which is located on the banks of the Drozdy reservoir.”
Or is it window dressing as they slow-roll the announcement of his demise?

Prick-O-Chin calls the SMO a "stupid war" and basically calls for rebellion. He's been doing everything worthy of minimum 25 years in prison in modern era Russia. If he survives this you know something has changed in the Kremlin, they've served poisonous tea for a lot less.
Tea with Putin, supper in hospital?

I have already posted about him in post 618 as to what is suspected and that he was possibly put in an induced coma, possible poisoning during Russian visit.
