#Russia

The Russian war against Ukraine has rewritten the rulebook on how helicopters survive—and die—in modern combat. With both Russia and Ukraine suffering heavy aviation losses to drones, air defenses, and precision strikes, the US Army is watching closely. But as top generals tell The War Zone , the real challenge isn’t copying Ukraine’s playbook—it’s learning the right lessons without fighting the wrong war.

How much is the Kremlin willing to pay foreign-facing influencers to praise Russia? The bloggers claim nothing. The data says otherwise. Sasha Meets Russia, for instance, is just one among a network of “loyal foreign bloggers” managed by a stablemaster with direct Kremlin ties.
