Though cheap drones are the better option, as they can cover a greater area than helicopters (drone swarms) and the information from drones are instantly available to ground operators.

The KA-52 Aligator is also very expensive at $15 million a roll, whereas drones are cheap at $500 only.
Old habits die hard.
After 67 days of the 'Special security operation' WAR AGAINST NATO........there is an awakening. This is good, as this War can go on for a long time and Russia must reinvent itself towards a successful war economy.
