"Was go out of the course, the crew was shot": a helicopter of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation landed in Poltava - social networks

According to the Russian officer Elijah Tumanov, pilots could be victims of "radio games" of Ukrainian defenders, resulting in a helicopter planted in Ukraine. A few weeks ago, in Poltava allegedly mistakenly landed the helicopter of the Armed Forces Rossi Mi-8 at the Poltava airfield, and his crew was shot. This was announced on August 23 by the Armed Forces of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation Ilya Tumanov in his Telegram-channel Fightbomber.

According to the Russian officer, the crew allegedly lost its orientation and "crossed the tape". However, it is unclear why the helicopter went out of the course - Tumanov suggests that it could have been a "radiograp" of Ukrainian defenders, or the refusal of navigation devices. "Attempts to restore the orientation ended in no avail. They saw an airfield from the air and landed on it. The airfield was the airfield of Poltava, Ukraine," the message reads.

The helicopter crew allegedly realized that he had landed in Ukraine and tried to lift the helicopter into the sky. The report states that at this point the pilots were allegedly shot - two crew members were liquidated, and the commander, according to Tumanov, was injured. "Bortovy and Pravak are probably 200, commander 300," - says the author of the message. It should be noted that in Poltava there is an air base with the same name, where the 18th separate brigade of Army Aviation was founded.
