I feel like it would be fun to go back through this thread and reexamine some of what people where saying prior to the war. Russia's helicopters have been a non-factor with the proliferation of portable air-defence weapons while Javelin had an outsized impact in the war during the defence of Kiev in the initial stages and continues to cause damage to Russian armor today. I think it would be fun to go back and see how wrong (or if you're me, right
) most people's analysis and reading of both sides capabilities and sustainment has been....
Armor earmarked for delivery to Ukraine.
Lol. Slow down there. Last I checked S-400 has 2 confirmed real-world intercepts, one being a helicopter the other being a SU-27 (Ukrainian SU-27s dont have robust electronic warfare capabilities I should add) and PATRIOT has several hundred including missiles, aircraft, UAVs and helicopters. I'd say it's a little premature to crown S-400 more capable, especially given the losses suffered by the system and its offshoots in Ukraine.

London has delivered Storm Shadow to the UKR - no number quoted.
In reality, its range is greater than the official 250 km. Very accurate and with a unit load of 450 kg, it does not seem to have been used by the UKR yet.

French call it scalp eg . We had bought it . It can go up to 500km if lunched from high altitude
