Aleksandr Dugin is the "brain" behind a lot of russian political theory/ideas that Putin embraces. He has a book on the "multipolar" world as well as the concept of the fourth political theory. He is very far right and essentially a fascist but you can google and get the gist of his worldview. His argument is that Africa isn't united/advanced enough to be a pole yet and unlike Russia, India or China, no single African country is capable of being a pole. It is borderline scientific racism type stuff which is why the "freethinker" position on here toward russia seems so odd...
It is estimated that russia had anywhere from 90 to 133 of these helicopters to start with and they have been confirmed to have lost 41 so far including the two today.

Russia’s Emergency Rate Hike Fails to Lift Ruble After Crash
Russia’s central bank raised interest rates sharply and said another increase is possible, but fell short of reversing declines in the ruble amid one of the steepest depreciations in emerging markets.

This was to be about Russia along with India and China leading the way towards a multipolar, $ free world. Instead, Putin can't come and the ruble is in free fall. I anxiously await the freethinker spin/revisionism...
Lancaster is a Ritter or Macgregor tier journalist. You will get way better russia friendly coverage from people like Pegov or Sladkov etc. There are good translations readily available. It will still be wild stuff but they are actually connected and have at least some level of coherence to their "reporting". Pegov was even awarded for his work by Putin.
Lancaster, Ritter, Hinkle are just used to wildly fling bullshit to the English speaking audience that was previously sharing covid bio lab tweets.
Bellingcat has a nice write up from the very beginning on how they used people like Lancaster to spread the fake attack that was to be the casus belli for this conflict:
