In the Kremennaya area, the Ukrainian military is actively using Mi-8 helicopters

The Armed Forces of Ukraine are attempting to attack the positions of the 144th Guards Motorized Rifle Division of the Russian Armed Forces. Its servicemen hold the front line in the Kremennaya area.

The details of the combat work of the Russian military in this area are reported by the Telegram channel "Older Edda".



Several enemy assault groups attacked the positions of our motorized riflemen from three sides. In response, the forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine were thrown back to their original positions, while suffering losses of personnel killed and wounded.


A lot of work here is done by the air defense of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, whose crews destroy air targets.

Over the past few days, the Ukrainian military has been actively using Mi-8 helicopters in the Kremennaya area. They regularly carry out sorties of 4-5 combat vehicles, operating at low altitudes. Using unmanaged aviation missiles, aircraft of the Armed Forces of Ukraine strikes from Ivanovka at a distance of up to five kilometers.

True, the effectiveness of such attacks tends to zero. During the three days during which they are being undertaken, no one was injured among the Russian military. But the very fact of the use of aviation by the Armed Forces of Ukraine after so many months since the start of a special military operation is a negative signal. I would like to hope that measures are already being taken to destroy these helicopters.

At the same time, the Russian military continues to strike Ukrainian critical infrastructure. Objects were hit in ten regions of Ukraine, as well as in its capital.

      On the Ka-52 and Mi-28, the launch of missiles from a pitch-up was introduced into the aiming device function. Based on the ballistics of the projectiles, the altitude of the helicopter and possibly the wind, the distance to the target, the pitch-up angle and the launch command are generated automatically - the pilot or operator only needs to quickly enter the coordinates of the target and, on command from the sight, upon reaching a certain distance, set the calculated pitch-up angle and, well, press the trigger remains. The Mi-8 Ukrainians do not have this in their sights, they have a primitive old one. Therefore, they can shoot from a cabriole on a whim - ,, to that steppe ,, or ,, to the village to grandfather ,,

      also, go, from the cabriolet,
      As far as I understand, in order to increase the firing range, it is required to increase the angle of departure (throw) of the ammunition. why this technique does not cause negative when it is used in any type of small - cannon armament, including sniper rifles, with an increased angle of throw is ostracized. Or do you have personal experience with such launches?

    . Ours is not enough ... but what are ours lacking ???
    Efficiency, intelligence data, in order to successfully, effectively counteract the actions of the enemy.
    The infantry, with the support of field artillery, copes with its tasks, but as long as the enemy has the strength and ability to conduct offensive / reconnaissance actions, there will be losses that can be avoided if the enemy is strongly affected by all the striking means available to our troops.

    Mi-8. They regularly carry out sorties of 4-5 combat vehicles, operating at low altitudes.
    Any problems with divisional air defense, do they fly 5 km away? Recently there was a video of how ours from the tank hit the Ukrainian Mi-8, which was about to take off. They missed, but the fragments did their job - it flew with flames on the starboard side, after a few kilometers it collapsed and burned out.

Then they went to the ram and threw it, exactly, into the minefield. Where it has finally scattered in different directions.

      Judging by everything, if the words “Ukrainian” and “Russian” are interchanged in reports about aviation actions, then the meaning will not change - both are ineffective. Unfortunately, such a "replacement of words" is not correct in the case of artillery, reconnaissance, operational control, communications, sabotage work - here the enemy has an undeniable advantage. And until they begin to apply the highest measure of social protection to polkans and generals from among the inspectors for trying to conduct drill reviews in the DB area and checks on keeping notes on political preparation, this discrepancy will only progress.

        Answer only one question. If our aviation is not equally effective, but in everything else "the enemy has an undeniable advantage", how did our small grouping stop the advance of the enemy, several times larger than us in numbers, and slowly knock him out of powerful fortified areas.

          Your logic is wrong.
          The Armed Forces of Ukraine have advantages in technical reconnaissance equipment.
          I grew up army advantage in missiles, tanks, howitzers,
          RZSO, BMP.
          Therefore, it grew. the army sometimes retreats and sometimes advances.

            But if we compare the ratio of February and December, then the number of aspects in which the Armed Forces of Ukraine have an advantage has increased significantly, and even in those nominations where until recently such an advantage could not even be seriously assumed. The trend... is somewhat alarming.
            Regrouping to Moscow and the Urals is not a matter of tomorrow (and I really hope that we will manage without such maneuvers at all), so far only the defensive lines near Belgorod and in the Crimea are being dug.

            The main trump card of the Ukrainian army today is the numerical superiority of manpower. If our Kremlin rulers had mobilized in the same proportion as the population of Ukraine and Russia, which is 1:4, or at least 1:2, then now there would be a completely different alignment on the front line.

            It would be a draw if Russia rolled back to its borders before 2014. And so four occupied regions are in our asset, while the Armed Forces of Ukraine have nothing.
            It would have been a draw if the losses in manpower and equipment were comparable. And so Zelensky is simply methodically destroying the male population of Ukraine.
            And that's all, the offensive of the Armed Forces of Ukraine has ended. The reserves of our group are too serious at the moment. Tricks like the Kharkov "counterattacks" will no longer work.

            The maximum flight range of NURS is 5-6 km. The helicopter flies up to the line of contact almost closely, goes into a pitch-up, and makes a launch. The firing range of MANPADS is at least 5 km.
            During the pitching, the helicopter is practically not protected in any way for both ATGMs and MANPADS.

              one moment - not "almost close" but 5-6 km before our location))))

                You are wrong. 5-6 km is the maximum range of a rocket fired at an optimal angle. It is almost impossible for a helicopter to catch this angle, its nose flew up, turned up on the button, pressed it, released everything and dumped it. If you shoot from the maximum range, then strive for 100% shelling of your own positions. In addition, they are not shelling the blue of contact, i.e. trenches, but they hit some target in the depths, for example, an identified artillery position. Considering everything that I have explained to you, they fly up to the very front line, in other cases they cross it, not far, but they enter our territory.
                Where is the MANPADS?

                  now, if you shoot a little further, everything flies into milk, which is what happens to them, which is why there is no harm from them, but you can’t shoot them down from MANPADS, and they haven’t hit them from airplanes yet

    82 mm roll-up nurses are not a way to conduct combat operations, but only a way to kill the resource of a helicopter or aircraft. There is no accuracy, the ammunition is weak, the efficiency is zero, the cost of a sortie is huge. Also, the Russian Aerospace Forces are emasculating the resource of their birds. In this regard, both us and the 404th are still striped ..., sorry!

        Not certainly in that way. It's just that the striped ones use blunt means of destruction when the enemy's air defense is suppressed and you can nurse / bomb quite accurately. And while not suppressed, then work highly accurate. We, with unsuppressed air defense, are trying to nurse around the areas - zero sense.

    Don't combat Mi-2s fly there?
    Our planes and helicopters do not fly over Ukrainian positions, they are afraid of their air defense. And their transport helicopters fly over our positions. Strange operation.
    Fake war.
    By the way, do their helicopters also fly with welded doors?

    It must be admitted that far from everything is in order with air defense at the front. Remember Mariupol, which in the spring was already in a deep environment, and Bandera turntables darted back and forth. And only when the banderiki themselves began to brag about it to the whole world, someone thought of setting up at least posts with MANPADS around the city. Another sad thing is that the war will soon be a year old and enemy turntables are already hitting on the front end. Our intelligence has not succeeded in identifying enemy aviation bases, as well as air defense in operational cover for troops, one can only hope that the enemy will teach and force.
    If you are unlucky with the generals, at least the luck of the soldiers does not blow.

      That's right - a question for reconnaissance, commercially available helicopters are used on the front line - a mystery where they are trained for combat missions, re-equipped, refueled? I’m even afraid to stutter about satellite surveillance, but the reconnaissance aircraft could take a look. If anything, I'm not an aviation specialist and mowed down intelligence. But I wonder how this is possible? Is the army 71% armed with modern weapons fighting according to the principles of the Second World War?

    "Using unguided aircraft missiles, the aircraft of the Armed Forces of Ukraine strikes from the side of Ivanovka at a distance of up to five kilometers.
    True, the effectiveness of such attacks tends to zero. During the three days during which they are being undertaken, no one was injured among the Russian military."

    But when ours publish footage of NAR launches, they report on the liquidation of headquarters with hundreds of nationalists

    That is, in your opinion, all the helicopters shot down before were not shot down? And then what? Did they all fall down?

        There are no links to the source, to the report. There is no assertion that the control center was destroyed by the NARs, and not by the whirlwinds that can be seen on the recording - but there is only a commentary on what is happening on a short video. There is no mention of "hundreds of nationalists".

      The most massive helicopter in the world. According to Wikipedia, with reference to The Military Balance from 2016, ukrov had about 2016 in 70. The Americans handed over 20. Even xs how many others quietly transferred and how many spare parts to restore the old ones.

    MI-8 is not an aggressor like 24-ki. It's more of a transporter. And the speeds are not great, and the maneuverability is not so hot. Such targets can be destroyed even by dense automatic fire, if they are low-flying.
