Russia is doing a fine job of getting their troops killed without having to deploy a Tiltrotor. Checkmate, Westoids

I want to see Russia try and build a tilt rotor now.

A coaxial tilt rotor, at that. Maybe it can cause twice the accidents then.

Using an existing engine from a fixed wing aircraft that can't autorotate, meaning an engine failure anywhere other than forward cruise would be fatal.
