The Ukrainian Defence Forces have destroyed a Russian Ka-27 naval anti-submarine helicopter in the temporarily occupied Crimea. This was reported by the spokesman for the Ukrainian Navy Dmytro Pletenchuk.
"One less Russian Ka-27 in Crimea. It was looking for something. Found it," he wrote.
The Ka-27/28 naval anti-submarine helicopter is designed to perform anti-submarine defence tasks for naval vessels of various classes. It is capable of detecting modern submarines and surface targets, transmitting data about them to ship and shore stations, and attacking them.
