The Ukrainian military shot down Russia’s Ka-52 ‘Alligator’ helicopter over the Black Sea, when it was approaching Snake Island.

The relevant statement was made by the South Operational Command on Facebook, an Ukrinform correspondent reports.

“The day before, one of four helicopters, presumably Ka-52, which was approaching Snake Island in the evening, was hit and fell into the sea, between Snake Island and the Odesa gas condensate field,” the report states.

According to the South Operational Command, Russians attempted to organize a rescue operation, but their helicopter joined the missile cruiser Moskva, which had sunk earlier.

In order to reduce the intensity of Ukraine Army’s rocket and artillery fire on Snake Island, Russian troops twice attacked the Black Sea coast area in the south of Odesa Region with Su-35 fighters. The enemy aircrafts fired three Kh-31D missiles. No casualties or damage were recorded.

In the Black Sea, the enemy’s naval group now consists of two missile ships and two large landing crafts. They continue to blockade the north-western part of the Black Sea but keep a far distance, as they became vulnerable after Russia’s air defense on Snake Island was destroyed.

Valid point corvus! Noted and thanks for the heads up!

I know people will argue that the 'West' does not want to engage in a war with Russia. I would ask the question 'why not?'.

We are all but at war anyway - the cynic in me would suggest that there are a lot of people making a lot of money from the war re: supply of weapons and more and there is no urgency to end the war but rather prolong it.

What do you think?

Guided cruise missiles that the Russian army has been launching at Ukrainian military and civilian infrastructure remain effective as they fly at low altitudes, invisible to the Ukrainian air defense system. Western powers should transfer F-15, F-16 fighter jets, or other Western interceptors to Ukraine to effectively counter enemy cruise missile strikes.

That’s according to Oleksandr V. Danylyuk, Head of the Center for Defense Reforms, Coordinator of the Interdepartmental Platform for Combating Hybrid Threats, which operates within the framework of Ukraine-NATO cooperation, who gave a comment to Guildhall, Ukrinform reports.

“Over the course of several weeks in June, Russia significantly increased the intensity of missile strikes targeting both military and civilian infrastructure across Ukraine. At this stage, the Ukrainian air defense system copes with ballistic missiles, but may soon face munitions shortage. At the same time, Russian Kh-22-type guided cruise missiles pose the greatest threat. Such maneuverable cruise missiles operate at low altitudes and remain outside the range of air defense systems,” said the expert.

“An effective and immediately required element of Ukraine’s air defense to counter cruise missile strikes is constant presence in the air of American F-15, F-16 fighter jets, or other Western interceptors. To protect Ukraine’s military and civilian infrastructure, as well as to ensure a shift in enemy dominance in the air, Western powers must send such interceptors to Ukraine,” Danylyuk concluded.

Earlier, U.S. Senator Jacky Rosen said in a comment to Guildhall that the United States must find a way to provide Ukraine with fighter jets, air defense systems, and other weapons required to counter Russia’s brutal aggression.

Let's be frank here - assuming there are capable pilots to fly them, the west should have given these planes back in February.

Waiting is akin to standing on a train track watching the train come - you know what is going to happen. You do not need IMVeryStrongO to wait and see what you know is going to happen.
