One more thought, if one compares the AH64D Apache cockpit in the following link it becomes pretty obvious that the tech (analog, displays and the amount of toggle switches) in the KA-52 is far behind the AH64D tech.
They should have some inflatable sofas to sig more comfy. Takes no place to store.

It's always much warmer in the city, especially a big one. I assume they aren't located there but somewhere in the forest.
there is real time radar in UA .. as OP linked for this post https://www.accuweather.com/en/ua/national/weather-radar
I assume this coverage is from russian dopler radar sites
>shouldn't be judged like they're different
They aren't different, they are human. They've gone thru living hell and been traumatized and brutalized by it, absolutely, but they are still human. And again as I said above, it is still not an excuse.
The first step to a genocide is literally this, telling yourself and those around you that you are so much better than "those people" and could never act the way they do. In fact, "those people" are so far from you and me, that they probably do this sick shit for fun, unlike us, civilized people, who only commit acts of violence in selfdefense. From there it isn't too big a leap to "those people" are so fucked it would be a mercy to put a bullet in their skull, it would be justified. Speaking of, we have a bunch of them tied up over there..
This isn't abstract, this is how you turn people into Auschwitz guards or how you make police officers or Ordinary Men who have sworn to protect the innocent line them up to be shot instead.
it's not just "fear". it's apathy, it's "just following orders", it's years of scapegoating and dehumanizing "the others", it's blind patriotism and nationalism, it's "doing evil for the good of the nation", it's "doing evil so my brothers and sons don't have to", etc etc
You should read this book called Ordinary Men: Reserve Police Battalion 101 and the Final Solution in Poland if you've never read it.
Don't take my word for it, there's plenty of academic essays on the matter. This book is an excellent resource, written in 2015/16 it goes so far as predicting the Ukraine crisis with near 100% accuracy - https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/1783962437/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o07_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
People want to say that russia has deployed weapons inside the powerplant and shells themselves? Come on.
Im all on Ukrainian side, I have donated hundreds of euros, medical help and my drone to Ukraine. But i also have to be real and understand that the shelling around ZPN is mostly done by UA. While it sounds untrue it is however true. UA needs the shelling in order for the world to look at RU as a terrorist state. In order to keep sending UA the weaponry (which sadly sometimes ends up being sold because of the high corruption levels in Ukraine). I’m sorry to break it down to you like that.
Older than you kid. Old enough to know how the homing pigeons were used in ways that don’t give away forward positions.
Since you have used the internationally recognised request for more information ‘F.Y.’, here you go: Operation Columba--The Secret Pigeon Service: The Untold Story of World War II Resistance in Europe https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0723G9TZ9/ref=cm_sw_r_awdo_X26FF46049FBZQXG5WNV
Hope you get some time after school to read it. At the same time why not read up a little on humour and how to respond to it…
No worries :-). Very little truely surprises me these days but that was an eye opener. Even if you don't buy the book or read the Blinkest the reviews alone are worth reading

I only read the Blinkest (short 19 min summary). The reviews on the book were good however some noted it went into to much detail so up to you how deep you go!
Will you say US army is incompetent following their retreat from Afghanistan, Iraq, Vietnam or Korea? The most expensive army of the world (by far) had to retreat from people walking (in part) with flip flop and eating (mostly) without a fork. Check this book written 35 years ago but still applicable I think.
This is one of Thomas Sowell’s books I’d recommend to any liberals or leftists to read, when they label other xenophobic or start to talking about their views on racism:
