This is the Ministry of Defence of the Russian Federation's estimate of Ukranian combat losses on the Eighth of April Twenty Twenty-two.
Large numbers of attack and transport helicopters have been destroyed during the current unpleasantness in Ukraine,but of the three helicopters proposed herein for An Independent Army For An Independent Nation,Hector,Hercules and Hermes,Hector shall be used only for training and other light duties within the domestic base area and Hercules shall be used for both training and operational tasks but not for combat tasks,however,thanks to it's large useful load and long range weapons and sensors,Hermes shall be able to land ground troops,with protected vehicles,and attack air and surface targets from tens of miles beyond the threat of hostile air defence systems,unlike the Apache attack helicopter,which has a large signature in the visual,thermal,acoustic and radio spectrums and which must fly at low altitude and slow speed within five miles of the enemy in order to use it's short range weapons,and the Puma transport helicopter (or whatever it's replacement may be),which must deploy troops close to the enemy because it lacks the payload to carry protected vehicles,those who fail to study history shall be doomed to repeat it,but those who study physics shall know the future.
While Ukrainian men,drunk on toxic masculinity,give in to their primitive urges and resort to violence,the Campaign for Nulcear Disarmament has identified the "true heroes" of the current unpleasantness with Russia: "our thoughts are with the people of Ukraine and with all those courageously protesting against war";"we send our solidarity in particular to those suffering arrest as a result";"they are not alone",they add that there "is no possibility whatsoever that war will resolve these complex problems, and it might end with the destruction of humanity",a sentiment clearly shared by the Royal Navy,which flies the same battle ensign.
