2. Translated the last white text as “to be continued”

   are they implying they got a second chopper with a GMLRS missile?

   It does not look like the same location as the one posted earlier.

   But maybe a different angle?

3. They must be running low on SAM operators, I’ve only seen pilots being evacuated by heli thus far.

   Looks like summer?

5. Looks like its from early summer last year 2022. Due to total lack of shell craters and churned up soil from being driven over multiple times.
   OR, it could be from a very very quiet part of the front line with little i the way fighting.

6. Looks like if you’re a trained BUK crew you get a helicopter evacuation. If you’re a foot soldier, you rot in the field.

7. Im noticing that the helicopter landed on the road to avoid mines.
