  1. It failed. The plan was to land IL-76 transports. They couldn't land and had to divert to Belarus.

  2. Bro we literally had the footage on social media within hours, some of the aircraft got damaged/shot down on the way in. Yeah, they "took" the airport within "minutes" - the Ka-52s provided cover for the landing. Their mission was securing the air bridge for IL-76s which totally failed. The Russians fled to the forest. This was proven by Ukrainian forces taking pictures in the battle damaged airport posted before those weeks had passed. The Russian forces that "kept" the airport for weeks were there to secure a failed objective as the airport was no longer useful for the air bridge operation. Those were the lucky ones. The ones who fought in Hostomel, Bucha and Irpin were severely mauled.

  3.  @angreyhewe4009  "the AGM 88 has been seen shot down multiple times by air defence" - that's a lie lol they pick up the rocket motor section but never show the warhead. Because the warhead exploded on the target.

  4.  @angreyhewe4009  "It made me massively respect the VDV troops" - Why?

  5.  @antipathy162  Ukraine is also forced to cover a much larger area while Russia can pick and choose where to advance. A 2.5 to 1 advantage doesn't mean much when so many men are protecting the Belarus border just in case.

  6. But failed to secure the air bridge. What's the point of controlling an airport if you can't use it?

  7. It failed - couldn't secure the air bridge. Huge success would have been the IL-76s landing with more troops and Viktor Yanukovych to take over Kiev.

  8. Because it was.

  9.  @DaimondMen  Iraq had Soviet SAMs, French Roland SAMs, MIM-23 Hawk batteries they captured in Kuwait and the French IADS system called Kari ("Irak" backwards).

  10.  @antoniohagopian213  Pantsir, Tor-M2 and S-300 systems have been confirmed to have been destroyed by HARM in Ukraine.

  11.  @2000rayc  Iraq had an extensive SAM network.

  12.  @2000rayc  They had either Strelas or Iglas. Either way, how the hell is a Stinger going to do more work than Buks, S-125s, Rolands, MIM-23 Hawks, etc? Stingers are very limited in range and altitude.

  13. The Ukrainians came back reinforced and retook the airfield. This was proven by the social media picture taken in the night of the 24th. Nevertheless, the objective was securing the land bridge for IL-76 transports. That was a failure.

  14. No IL-76 = fail

  15.  @leronbenari226  The VDV didn't do their job. The reinforcements did it for them.

  16. It failed. No air bridge = fail.

  17. "Why everyone says failed Hostomel operation when they actually captured it with small losses" - Because the air bridge failed. "And they stayed in airport until in May" - Yeah, staying in place holding a useless position isn't a victory. Without planes landing in the airport to deliver troops and supplies, it's useless land.

  18. That was still a failure. The objective was landing IL-76s. They couldn't. That's a failure.

  19.  @vaguelymodest6239  "they’re being dominated" - Satellite photos show that Russia is pulling S-300 SAM batteries out of Syria. For a country that's being dominated, they seem to be doing well. Sinking the Black Sea fleet flagship, obliterating an air base, striking HQs and barracks of Wagner and the VDV, conducting destruction of enemy air defenses, etc.

  20. "why do you call the antonov airport air asault failed?" - Because they didn't secure the air bridge. "The 45th brigade took the airport on february 24 and waited for 3 days for the 31th to arrive." - They fled out of the airport, which was confirmed by Ukrainian soldiers taking pictures inside the airport after the attack but before the Russian reinforcements arrived. "check the last video on RSOTM chanel" - yeah lol just check out these disgusting war criminals and murderers, they're unbiased

  21. Cope.

  22. Yes. They failed to secure the air bridge.
