If I end up being totally wrong on this one, everyone can feel free to point and laugh at me, but there's something off about these ones.
Like, the Heli is too clean. I see no real battle damage, or even any real signs of a hard landing crash. This is what military helicopter crash wreckage usually looks like:

The fact that it looks pristine with no damage, just sitting there in the field is just odd to me. Like, if this is true, did the helicopter start running low on fuel so they just landed and hoofed it out of there? Did they have double engine failure but still managed to perform a perfect autorotation (but couldn't deploy their landing gear for some reason?). Was this just a Russian staging area where there were a lot of helicopters, and this one had mechanical issues so they just left it behind?
There are a lot of questions that make this odd to me, which could only be explained by extraordinary Russian logistics incompetence or Ukrainian PsyOps. I'll be interested to learn which it is, either way.
