Recently a lot of cool stuff has been found on foto.mail.ru. Is there any possibility to save those pictures? I know that for Flickr there are browser extensions which work quite well. I’m slowly getting tired of doing screen-shots for every single picture. 🙁

Is there an English version??

Back to air combat – what happened to the helos? does anyone have an accounting of what happened to all the Georgian Hinds and Hips?

Any reports of actual numbers destroyed – any air combat?

Georgian helo losses

And there is no suprise there anyway: the Serbian AF continued its operations till the last day of the NATO offensive, and managed even to preserve most of its aircraft. That doesn’t seem the case in Georgia now: apparently its last two surviving helos (a Mi-24 and a Mi-8) were destroyed on the ground by Russian paratroopers in Senaki and Georgia has thus also lost its last operating AF base.

OK, so what happen to all the Georgian helos?
