The seeker on the missile can track targets up to 40° off the missile's centerline. A turret would have to be pretty large and it would add extra cost, complexity, and point of potential failure. It's easier to just turn the boat.

In case you didn't read the post.

Another similar enemy helicopter was hit by fire and was able to reach its base airfield.

The DIU, not the SBU, never claimed the second helicopter made an emergency water landing. They also didn't claim it was a Mi-8.

That was the second helicopter, but it was only damaged.

Here is intercepted audio from that helicopter:

PRINCE 482 (MI-8) AT A RANGE OF 40, MAKING A LEFT TURN, MAINTAINING KAZBEK ZERO SIX. 482, I'M GOING DOWN! 482, I'M GOING DOWN! 482, TAKING COURSE TO KIMBU! KEEP TRACK OF ME, I'VE BEEN HIT! 482, CONTINUING FLIGHT, THERE WAS A BANG, THEY HIT ME. ENGINES ARE NORMAL FOR NOW, HOLDING OUT, HEADING TO KIMBU.

LAND ON THE EMERGENCY STRIP, DAMN IT! 482, DESCENDING TO BEACON 24. OBSERVED FROM THE SURFACE: IT WAS FIRED FROM THE LEFT OVER WATER, FLYING STRAIGHT ON TARGET. STARTED MANEUVERING, AND IN THE AREA OF THE ROTOR, THERE WAS A BANG. I DON’T KNOW WHAT THE PARAMETERS WERE, DAMN IT. AUTOPILOT SHUT OFF, NOW IT SEEMS LIKE THE PARAMETERS ARE NORMAL.

482, WE'VE DISPATCHED AN EMERGENCY RESPONSE TEAM AND A FIRE TRUCK.

Missile impacts at 0:50 and the helicopter crashes into the water at 1:03.

Full video - NSFW

Soldiers of the 8th Special Operations Forces Regiment exterminate Russians, but protect animals.

They staged a good and accurate hunt for the Russian infantry.

But during one of the sorties, they discovered a dog walking near the dugout.

Only when he left did the soldiers strike the enemy hideout. The dog was not harmed.

Bare cable weighs a lot less, about the weight of thin fishing line.

Republicans, specifically Matt Gaetz, voted to remove McCarthy. It's not Democrat's responsibility to vote for Republicans.
