1. Nice trophy and smart Russian to defect and leave that shithole

2. Good. Hopefully a lot more of these defections will happen. What’s the current offer? 500k per helicopter? Not bad.

3. Best decision he ever made…

4. Waiting for more details.

5. Hopefully more similar defections to come soon. I can hear it now: “Andrei, you’ve lost another helicopter…”

6. And it begins

7. So defection?

8. Wonder if he got paid extra for bringing Flanker parts with him. This is a great snag.

9. Is that blood?

10. Don’t publish this. Defectors need protection ffs.

11. Lucky he wasn’t shot by crew…
