  1. Ukraine needs to speed up the RIM-7 and Buk project so they can have effective defense again gunships at long range. The KA-52 is taking advantage of that gap Between MANPAD and SHORAD ironically the US Army had dropped the AIM-9X in favor of the hellfire and Stinger for the stryker SHORAD as well the USMC had also dropped its Avenger units The KA-52 has renewed the need for US forces to have SHORAD defenses able to engage gun ships like KA-52 before they get in range

  3. Countering is depends how fast the RIM-7 and Buk takes The KA-52 is taking advantage of Ukraine's gap between MANPAD and SHORAD While Ukraine does not have the SHORAD yet They do have Storm Shadows The smart move would be to locate their Forward operating bases and pound them Storm Shadows The Storm Shadow 1000lbs warhead precisely targeted damage or destroy them on the groundf

  4.  @tankman66  Hence why Ukraine need to speed up with Buk and RIM-7 project The RIM-7 would give Ukraine the SHORAD it need to stop KA-52 long before they can get in range it also gives them a longer range against Su-35, Su-25 and Su-30s They have been shown able to survive a MANPAD but the RIM-7 90lbs warhead even with proximity fuze will down the target
