Almost 70 helicopters, likely from the either the 55th or 487th Helicopter Regiments or 16th Army Aviation Brigade. There are two Mi-26 heavy helicopters, multiple squadrons of Mi-8 and multiple attack helicopter squadrons (likely a mix of Mi-28N, Ka-52, and Mi-24/35M). twitter.com/DefTechPat/sta…

The last time I saw a force like this was when we detected 50 Iraqi army helicopters 24 hrs before they landed 600 commandos in Kuwait City in 1991. It was a key sign of impending invasion. This is a very irregular a special purpose task force that looks like they intend to use.

Hopefully anything short of direct conflict. I imagine we are working with Ukraine on cyber defense, supplying their forces with arms, setting the stage for making this Putin's worse decision of his life.

The thing is, these are people who have been invaded before recently. The Russian military, it's not new. They've had years to plan. This is an ant war game theory scenario for those people while Putin is thinking of a wolf war. There's going to be a lot of poison fish.

If only Ukraine had the resources prior to aid currently flowing in from countries. Trump withheld that aid for years from Ukraine. They do have the largest military in Europe and second to Russia in the region.

The MI-28s might make good targets. The Russians have never let the prospect of heavy losses slow them down much. If they do this (rather than just amping up intimidation) the mess will be horrifying.

So when Putin attacks and takes Ukraine. What then? Sanctions? How far can they really go to hurting Putin? I’d wager not far enough to make him give Ukraine up again. Then what? If Putin can take Ukraine and feel OK about the price why wouldn’t he continue into the Balkans?
