Wild story about a missing Russian Mi-8 If this was indeed the helicopter involved pictured then Mi-8AMTsh 62 Red should be RF-04428

Insane helmet/body cam footage of what is purported to be a Su-25 pilot ejecting. Looks like a Russian jet, screenshots in next tweet Looks like Bort No 09 Red, V markings on engine inlet and tail. Serious fire coming out of port engine

Looks like this was a strike by a submunition from a Bonus or SMART 155 shell Both work relatively similarly, the difference being SMART 155 submunitions deploy parachutes before searching for targets while BONUS submunitions deploy winglets

Thread. Will add a couple of comments Said something to that effect when all that nonsense was being said about there not being enough time to train the Ukrainians on western systems

Looks like the Russians were aiming the the (Kredmash) factory at Kremenchuk when the 1st of two of their shitty Kh-22 missiles hit the mall while the 2nd struck the fringes of their target

See clip from 0.33-0.55. Geolocation coming up 1/x Red arrow: 1st explosion
Blue arrow: 2nd explosion

2/x

Did the Ukrainians also have intel about the looming ammo shortage beforehand? Did seem like they were putting a fair bit more effort targeting Russian ammo dumps over the past week First was an ammo depot going up at Krasny Luch last week…

Key points from full news segment:

1) On the way Donetsk-Mariupol to cover civilian evac
2) mentioned the area was still under attack from Ukrainian Tochka-Us and US-supplied loitering munitions
3) had they been 3 minutes earlier they would have been caught in the explosion Happened on the 6th of May BTW.
