But, as one Ukranian resistance fighter pointed out, it also clearly marks them as the enemy.
Right now, the Russians are engaged in a wide-spread, across the entire nation of Ukraine attacks. Mostly air strikes on what they deem as key targets. Airports, bridges, railroads have all been struck. Attack helicopters and jets are engaged. The Russkie choppers expend a lot of defensive measures, flares designed to defeat heat-seeking rockets. But the Ukranians have already figured out their pattern, so they wait until after the flares are deployed and then they launch the stinger missiles and other heat-seeking rockets. So far 6 Russian helicopters are confirmed killed and 12 more severely damaged. No Russian jets have been downed...yet, according to the early reports.
A Ukrainian parliament member was interviewed LIVE on FOX this morning, he called on the US and NATO to provide air cover and then the 1 million-man strong Ukranian army/militia would/could handle the ground battle. Not gonna happen, I'm afraid. The Western chickenshits have no stomach for actually engaging in any kind of combat vs. the Putinites. Ukraine is on its own.
