Russian Mi-8 destroyed by rebel TOW returning from downed Su-24 rescue mission


Rebels launch missile, destroy Russian helicopter searching for pilots.

It wasn't destroyed but definitely damaged. It had to make an emergency landing but was able to make it back to the Government controlled territory. After this, we should be expecting Russian Ground Forces in action.

Able to make it back ? That thing got destroyed (sadly)
 
Not just that, wait for Russian assets to be parked very close to comfort for many NATO and two particular US allies. This particular incident today was, by all definitions of the word, the stupidest move, since the one that lead to world war two.

Russia was never defeated in Afghanistan. Only 9,500 soldiers KIA compared to millions KIA in WW2. Look at Chechnya. Despite thousands of KIA, Russia eventually crushed Chechen rebels. Never underestimate Russian resolve.

You are wrong i neither said nor hinted that Russia was defeated in Afghanistan.
 
Lets see if Russia has learnt from past and actually apply new tactics to this war. It has same sort enemy on different part of world.

Russia was exhausted to death. That's what successful guerrilla warfare all about.
