armed forces of ukraine failed last night to get through the skirmish lines.....

which is the case because the long range fires and reacting aviation backed up the light lines....

artillery prep is minimized when the light force can call in heavy fires which are safe from the artillery preparation.

the value of air dominance!

a 'tank wedge'! we are not talking shield walls and swine heads!

There was a cheeky video of a Russian Ka-52 chasing a Ukrainian Mi-8 yesterday on the contact line in Zaporozhye. The Ka-52 was trying to line him up for a missile but couldn't quite get him as the Mi-8 retreated behind the lines and Ka-52 likely didn't want to get Manpaded

But it proves that Ukraine did have all the air support they could manage. But unfortunately Mi-8 just can't match Ka-52 support
