@cristianwj I'm working on a PBEM version of this battle that includes the latest information available for unit location and movements, strikes and engagements. I'd like your input and welcome collaboration. LMK

The reinforcements of the first assaults were to arrive by plane, but that never happened, the Russians did not have air superiority:

Why do you want to prevent helicopters from supporting troops on the ground? That's what they had to do by the way. Ukrainian Mig 29 planes were in the area. That day, the Ukrainians quickly counter-attacked and repelled the Russians. Here is a video, but contrary to what it says, it does not date from February 24 (it was also posted on March 13) March. Propaganda video I think, we can see, through the window , that the helicopter does not have a rocket pod then towards the end of the video, we see Russian military vehicles with the V. On the day of the first raid, the vehicles had not yet reached Hostomel. But we can see Ukrainian planes fly over the area.

Typhoon: Thank you for your response. I have considered to set an Air Base nearby, but the players might be take the advantage of this and make Ka-52 and Mi-8 support the VDV units from the air in during most time of the scenario. Is there any support information of Ka-52 still fly on the airfield after units landing? or take the way back after the first step of operation was finished.
I have took a test for the helicopters and they have plenty fuel to back Babruysk Air Base.
I will suggest Matrixgames to update the load settings of Mi-8 in next database update.

In Command if you don't put a base nearby, the Helicopters perform an RTB to the nearest base during Bingo. In your mission, the helicopters use 'Babruysk Air Base', which does not leave them much flight time due to the long distance.
Personally, I will put a starting base near Mazyr, from where I will send all the helicopters.
To facilitate navigation, the helicopters had to follow the river.
Do a test, put I think, that by making the Mazyr round trip to Hostomel, the helicopters can stay 30 minutes in the area.
Mi-8s normally have Flare, but in Command, they are not equipped. They must be added manually from the Weapons page of the helicopters. I would use the ASO-2V (ID 1849), the same as for the mi-24.

Sorry for my English, it's the fault of Google translate ;)

As you can see the helicopter would leave from an area near Mazyr in Belarus, a nearby airfield would have been used

The actual assault consisted of many more helicopters (more than 30)
Mi-8MTSh, KA-52 were present but also mi-24 (one was shot down over the Dnieper river
On some videos, we can see that Su-25s were present during the assault
Several sources of information to improve your mission:
