lol... looks like this 60's era chopper has been sitting there for a long time... look at the rusty inside of the open hatch cover... this is all bullshit!
so KanekoaTheGreat posted this same video on Telegram. I called out that rusted panel too but he pointed out the cockpit screens still appearing powered. I think maybe that busted open hatch has brown insulation or something.
It's a "V." For Victory. Invading or occupying forces will often paint a "V" on their vehicles as a motivational tool. It's also used as a way to tell our aircraft apart from other NATO member aircraft, because we sell them hardware, equipment, and vehicles. Ukraine once beloved to the USSR. And they get weapons and supplies from the Russians, so it stands to reason they may have Russian equipment and vehicles. Probably painted the similar, too. So it would be damn hard to tell who's who in crowded airspace above. Makes sense to paint something to delineate between the two militaries.
So insightful. I'm aware it's a russian built helicopter... but you seem to be missing the actual question. When I'm asking "is it russian" I'm implying that the occupants/owners of it might not be... understand?
I was thinking the same thing... the same as other videos I've seen of other armour... no blood, no bodies, no meat...

As Carl from Slingblade would say, Ain't got no gas in it.
It's a letter in the Cyrillic alphabet. It is also sometimes used to indicate the number 400, but that's a lesser-known usage to the West.
Well its a Russian helicopter, duh so they copied our marking system??? they copy everything else.
That's my point though, IS IT RUSSIAN? All the other russian vehicles I've seen so far have a [Z] on them.
yes
