They were 30 rubles a pack (roughly $1 USD at the time) and they were the worst, most loving vile things I'd ever smoked. Russian cigarettes are so loving lovely they made me quit smoking entirely and I've been nicotine free for 13 years and counting. It's notable to me because it was the first time in my life that my life itself was improved because of how lovely something was.

Future localized Russian releases of 1987's "Predator" will need extensive subtitle explanations for what exactly a "choppah' was as it will be generations until anyone sees one again after this invasion finally ticks over to day four on Moscows calendar

Bluemillion posted:What's the dollar value of those? as far as I can tell: KA-52 are $15M+. Mi-8 are, fittingly, ~$8M (unless they're kitted out with Super Fance electronic warfare poo poo). "Damaged" is inconclusive since that can range from trivial fittings to irreplaceable foreign sourced components, but uh, helicopters ain't cheap, and it turns out contain a lot of flammable things that pyrophoric pellets regard as their home.

That's probably it for the low hanging fruit though unless the russians just insist on replenishing that field with more helicopters again.

mobby_6kl posted:^^^^ I agree with this. The Russians are monumentally stupid when it comes to war but not even the Russians will allow this to happen a second time. They're going to disperse their aircraft but that just hurts them too because the more dispersed their air power is, the more resources it will take to do an air strike with them, get them to the front for CAS, or to do behind the lines strategic attacks. An Alligator that has to fly 100+ miles to reach the front has burned half of its fuel by the time it even gets to where the fighting is. That drastically reduces the combat potential of any aircraft sent.

I dunno if those numbers are correct (trust no info in war) but either way the russians are obviously suffering a lot of losses right now, as video shows a lot of armor being destroyed during really sloppy russian ops

Yeah letting your airfield get shelled a second time would be almost as dumb as pushing a failed attack into a fortified position that cost you 100+ armored vehicles and thousands of lives a second time when nothing has changed. They'd never do that. This whole war is an encapsulation of that mentality. When we started hearing about massed troops on the border in December everyone shrugged it off. "No way they'd be dumb enough to attack." And here we are, so many thousands dead and millions uprooted.

Currently they did move away most of their helos that could be salvaged from the disaster in both the airbases that got hit. Even if they ran for it, there's also huge supply dumps, troop concentrations, command posts, etc. that are well within range for ATACMS to use on.
