Maria Andreeva, a key face of the movement, has emphasized that she supports the guiding logic of the full-scale invasion, but is protesting the Russian government’s treatment of its soldiers and the inability of mobilized men to be rotated out of the front line.

She also has repeated Russian propaganda about the Bucha massacre, in which hundreds of Ukrainian civilians were killed by Russian soldiers, saying that it had been “staged” by the West.

Disappointing yet unsurprising.

Makes me wonder how much damage the tail boom could take before it would cause catastrophic failure to the rest of the airframe. The main rotors probably aren’t fairing very well after a hit like this either. Could take some time to repair the damage at the very least.
