The Special Operations Forces in cooperation with the Defence Intelligence of Ukraine, the Missile Forces and artillery destroyed two Russian Ka-52 and two Mi-8 helicopters in the Belgorod Region of the Russian Federation.
This was reported by the Special Operations Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
All the helicopters were destroyed by missile strikes to the Russia's rear, where Russians created a "platform for aircraft jumping off" — a disguised position for rapid movement of aircraft or for unexpected attacks on the Security and Defence Forces of Ukraine.
"The enemy once again thought that he was unreachable in the deep rear. We have once again proved that nothing is out of reach for the Special Operations Forces," the Special Operations Forces commented.
The Ka-52 is an attack helicopter that Russian military uses for reconnaissance and attacks on targets on the ground. Mi-8 helicopter is used to transport personnel and cargo, as well as to support ground operations.
