Ukraine Land to Air defense

Doesn’t seem like there is much defense from the helicopters. Hard to believe how effective these shoulder carried weapons are.

This is the comments that came with my email from a retired DOD contractor.

"Received this clip today from my cousin in Poland. Not clear where and when it was taken, but it speaks for itself. The anti-tank missiles have bilateral rocket plumes and flat, direct attack trajectories - they seem to me like TOW-2As (BGM71Es) - but let me know your thoughts. It does not say much for the Russian tanks' active-armor protection... Likewise for the effectivenes of flares to confuse air-target interceptors.

I am puzzled by the use of parachutists in daytime - this is so WW2... have they ran out of troop-tranport helicopters?

Best Regards, XXXXX"
