>Has 100 left
They started the war with 133 if you are to believe their balance sheet from 2022. They have exactly 90 if the losses are accurate. If they continue to lose them at this rate they'll have less than 50 right at the 3 year anniversary.
Considering readiness rates for aircraft in Russia are dog shit, you'll see less and less of the Ka52 each month as the flight hours continue to be concentrated on less airframes.
once again - this does not take into account that they are likely building new ones (thanks to import through China, Armenia and OAE). Guess that's something like 1/month or 1/2 months - so they've got 10 to 20 new ones as a replacement already. Not too much but cuts the loss in half.
Hope they are really bad on the engine resource though.

other vehicles have it too but KMW/KNDS and Rheinmetall almost never release full interior shots of their vehicles with all the systems and displays turned on so its hard to find nor do most people and photographers care about some random yellow screen in the first place

Yellow/orange is the easiest thing to see against ant background or something, but it puts operator's to sleep so we tend not to use orange, or keep it more blue.
I'm 37, I work in mechanical engineering and I base plenty of technical Excel tables on that, even these days 😀
The "select from an issued selection of choices" does not originate from Aliens but it sure is effective for making people self-organize and do half of the work I'm supposed to do by asking questions.

They could, except they're not stupid enough to tie themselves this a sinking ship of a country; now that Russia's proven itself useless as an ally against the west, they're not going to damage their international relations or risk sanctions by openly supporting them.
If anything, it would be in their best interests to let Russia collapse for the sake of hasting their absorption of Siberia.
MiG-31Ks are in Belarus. Ukraine doesn't strike targets there for some reason. I hope they'll smuggle some cardboard drones to the Belarussian partisans and ground those birds forever.
Because that would get Belarus actually thinking about entering the war rather than Potatoman saying he has just had a new delivery of potatoes that MUST be peeled before they go green.
Belarus has a gentlemen’s agreement to basically stay out of this while simultaneously pretending to be the arbiter of the conflict.
You don’t typically see Russians launching Iskanders from Belarus to Lviv for the reason that Ukraine may consider that active involvement, and literally shell the fuck out of Belarus. >inb4 the Belarusians invade
Every road has been barricaded, mined, and the entire border is Marshes and nuclear wasteland. It’s basically an empty threat since they’d get bogged down instantly.
Isn't the K variant the kinzhal launcher though? IIRC it can't even carry any weapons other than the kinzhal and they only have 10 of them, so they're probably not that used
Nobody talks about it on 4chan, but what Hunter Biden was actually doing in ukraine, with other US senator's failsons was giving out bribes to prevent China from buying Motor Sich. They produced helicopter engines, among other things, which china still can't do very well.
>Nobody talks about it on 4chan, but what Hunter Biden was actually doing in ukraine, with other US senator's failsons was giving out bribes to prevent China from buying Motor Sich
This sounds plausible and fits with my desired reality so I'll believe it without sources.
Well, I'll repeat it when 4chantards make unsourced accusations of their own anyway.

based if true
A Chinese merger/takeover of Motor Sich is something the state department blocked in 2021. I dunno how involved Hunter was, but this is something that verifiably did happen.

Just buy prototypes. It's the only thing 100% certain they'll get perfect.
>Let’s talk about endangered species and how to protect them.
Ukraine has built a protected habitat for them and is funding collectors to bring in healthy breeding partners.
If you know someone who has or can find such a bird, they can make a healthy bonus by bringing them to the habitat for protection.
Sirs you bloody bitch. Russia will make India white and there is nothing you can do about it.
But Ramesh I thought we hated whites
Ironically India is buying french hardware now
russia has like 100 left. that's plenty

I wonder how bad the optics and thermals are for the new airframes
>uh they made like 20 new ones!
Got any proofs to back up your claims?
Ten or twenty new fighter jets? Well that could be a big deal.
May I see them?
>started the war with ~90
>43 confirmed lost
I hope some make it to museums, they looks cool.
they probably bare cannibalizing some airframes to keep the others flying I think by the end there will be enough left to make a few museums pieces
Considering Ukraine is using western AA, yes.
It’s a mix of Russian and American.

It can actually take down drones and crooz missiles. Pidors can't even hit a Shadow the Hedgehog.
Dude he's not easy to hit, that's Shadow the fucking Hedgehog you're talking about, he's at least as fast as Sonic and he packs heat.

It also exploded on an island. Very versatile platform.
I think they're on shaheed duty, which they're really the perfect item for.
It's a mix of everything, retard. There is German, American, Russian, British, French.... I think there is some Polish and Swedish AA.
This is what happens when Shoigu arrests all somewhat critical zigger info sources
Why post a Ukie patting a dog full of Russians along with that comment?
25 of which will kill their crew after they start the engine
and the other 25 were embezzled and are just shells
Even if they could those helicopters would be better off serving China than giving them over to Russia, considering how fucking incompetent they are.
They could, except they're not stupid enough to tie themselves this a sinking ship of a country; now that Russia's proven itself useless as an ally against the west, they're not going to damage their international relations or risk sanctions by openly supporting them.
If anything, it would be in their best interests to let Russia collapse for the sake of hasting their absorption of Siberia.
Ka-52s have a reserve population in Egypt where they can’t be wasted by the Russians. So there is little worry of them going completely extinct.
Weren't a number of those sold to some turdies?
yes, Puccia only had 105 ACK-52 before they lose 42 of them in Ukraine
>can
That word is doing a lot of work to fuel your delusional bosom dream.
MiG-31Ks are in Belarus. Ukraine doesn't strike targets there for some reason. I hope they'll smuggle some cardboard drones to the Belarussian partisans and ground those birds forever.
Not worth the Belarussian army joining the fray and conducting fresh offensives from the north
Because that would get Belarus actually thinking about entering the war rather than Potatoman saying he has just had a new delivery of potatoes that MUST be peeled before they go green.
VKS completely evacuated belarus right after the poland border incursion. they were literally gone by the end of the week.
Belarus has a gentlemen’s agreement to basically stay out of this while simultaneously pretending to be the arbiter of the conflict.
You don’t typically see Russians launching Iskanders from Belarus to Lviv for the reason that Ukraine may consider that active involvement, and literally shell the fuck out of Belarus.

MiG-31s keep crashing due to overuse so yeah
Isn't the K variant the kinzhal launcher though? IIRC it can't even carry any weapons other than the kinzhal and they only have 10 of them, so they're probably not that used
they can just buy back the ones they sold egypt lool, checkmate HATOtards

If you know someone who has or can find such a bird, they can make a healthy bonus by bringing them to the habitat for protection.
Would you really trust a country like this to build sensitive, supposedly 1st world-equivalent equipment?
So, as we can clearly see, China is perfectly capable of building helicopters up to Russian military standard. Tremble in fear, westoids.
Yes, as long as said equipment were to be sent to Russia and we got the resulting videos.
