Something tells me it's deliberate, or following US directions.
If Ukraine had had fighters and sophisticated AD systems when the invasion was still fresh, it would've probably ended a lot sooner which the West clearly doesn't want.
The sad thing is that a lot of them don't even want to be there but I'm still surprised about the percentage of Russian people who are still supporting that invasion.
@Oryx seems to be bored also.
Their latest announcement was that they were going to cease operation of the site in October this year. It's a shame really.
It must be produced from very cheap material and leaving a lot of quality issues to be desired due to the need for speedy production. They are the worst performing combat chopper in Ukraine. I don'tunderstand why Russia wants more of these.. Instead the Mi-35 and derivatives or the Mi-28 even...
Isn't that a bit ungrateful from the Ukrainians?
Do they expect everything to fall on their lap for free?
We know that they are on the right side of the conflict but this is just BS.
The way I understand it:
Red = Downscaled pre-prototype scaled model (similar to "Öncü" before ANKA and "taktik Caldiran" before TB-2)
Purple = Full-scale prototype.
