@eva_chaos Intresting with this mail voting system that often is confused in Europe with pre-voting. Which is a completely different system.

Are paratroopers dead?

In the war in Ukraine, there have been discussions about the future of the main battle tank. But perhaps the same could be said of airborne units. Apart from the Battle of Hostomel airport, I have not heard of any airborne operations in the invasion of Ukraine. Traditional airborne units are meant to operate behind enemy lines. But in this war, they seem to be used mostly in frontal assaults.

What is the future of airborne units?

@VikingChieftain @isaackuo I think so too. We didn’t see it in the first gulf war when there was air superiority. Instead I believe the future are small teams operating behind enemy lines.
One thing to remember is that the introduction of helicopters wasn’t made until after ww2. So they didn’t really have many options at hand.

@VikingChieftain @isaackuo it will also be interesting to see how airborne units will evolve with bell v-280 valor

@VikingChieftain without Chinese support this war would probably be over by now.

@NeonPurpleStar @VikingChieftain @eva_chaos Clocks are generally very plastic, I would go for a SIG Sauer P226 or something similar.

@KarunaX @Ukrainenews Why don’t start with open elections in Russia?
