Ukrainian Forces Shoot Down $15 Million Russian Chopper With The Help Of A Missile System Worth Only '$100'
Ukrainian troops downed a $15 million Russian Ka-52 helicopter by using an air defence missile system worth a fraction of the cost. According to reports, the Ukrainian military unit Operational Command 'East' took to its Facebook page to share the news about the helicopter crash that took place in the Kharkiv region.
As per the post, the unit used an 'Igla' - a portable surface-to-air missing (SAM) system that was developed by the Soviet Union, and only costs $100. The post also mocked that using a 'Stinger', which is worth approximately $120,000, would have been a waste.

And on another note, sanctions are working:
Russia suspends production of anti-aircraft missile systems - intelligence (ukrinform.net)
The article states that "employees are given a choice: to go on unpaid leave or sign a contract with the armed forces to participate in the war in Ukraine. The recommended position is an 'operator-gunner' of a Buk missile system. The proposed salary is 50,000 roubles a month," the statement said."
50,000 rubles is $603.50 in USD at the moment.

I'll put him in the tentative column. @Haidukas Captain of first rank that is equivalent to Colonel, correct?
Captain 1st rank (Russian: Капитан 1-го ранга, romanized: Kapitan 1-go ranga, lit. 'Captain of the 1st rank') is a rank used by the Russian Navy and a number of former communist states. The rank is the most senior rank in the staff officers' career group. The rank is equivalent to colonel in armies and air forces. Within NATO forces, the rank is rated as OF-5 and is equivalent to captain in English-speaking navie

And the other thing about the Moskva's TF companions: why was a "passing Turkish tanker" even necessary? Surely the TF would be best-placed to either take crew off the burning ship, or pick up the skeleton crew managing the tow from on board once they abandon ship when it's clear she's past saving.
Once the Moskva got hit all the other ships move out another 20km to get out of range.

“Azov”: The Russians dropped an unknown poison on Mariupol
-
Russian servicemen, who have seen the military might of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, are making “last will” calls to their families. "the Russian soldier tells his wife there are 10 men left from his unit, but the command doesn’t want to pull them out of Ukraine. He understands they will be simply "wiped out" and says: "We have two options: to return home either as KIAs or WIAs. That's it...""

It's about time the UN did something:
The United Nations General Assembly voted Thursday to suspend Russia from the Human Rights Council.
A total of 93 members of the assembly voted in favor of the measure, while 24 were against and 58 abstained.
Those who voted against the resolution included Russia's regional ally Belarus, China, North Korea, Iran and Syria.

Russians: Let’s setup up our battery here!
Ukrainians: Ni.
I don't know how fast those vehicles can go but after the first shell hit I'd have the peddle to the metal heading back to Russia.

One odd thing to me, no one is wounded. One guy might have a sprained ankle and walks with a limp but not a single walking wounded in the group. Not sure what that means or if it means anything, just an observation.
There is an article by a US Navy Seal that talks about the same thing. Too many inconsistencies in that video.
