The Armed Forces in the Kherson region beat two more helicopters of the Russian Federation - OK "South"
"Today from 18:45 to 18:48 in the Berislav district of Kherson region a unit of the Anti-aircraft missile brigade of the Air Command" South "was knocked down by two Russian shock helicopters KA-52," the statement reads. It should be noted that today it is not the first Russian military helicopter to be shot down.
While the massive missile attack of Ukraine was continuing with winged rockets, the military anti-aircraft missile unit of the Central Air Command "Center" at 8:20 in Kherson region was knocked down an enemy KA-52. In addition, on Monday, October 31, the GUR confirmed that at the military-air base "Veretier" (Pskov region, Russian Federation) a powerful explosion destroyed two shock helicopters KA-52 ("Alligator").
They were in the territory of the military airfield, located near the Russian-Latvian border. Last night, October 30, the servicemen heard several powerful explosions, and then saw scattered fragments of two helicopters. Two more lethal devices have received significant damage. Hokum B by NATO classification is a reconnaissance and auditorial helicopter of Russian production. The cost of one such combat helicopter is about $ 16 million.
The Russian Federation has already lost 25% of its KA-52 helicopters in the war with Ukraine. The Russian command is increasingly resorting to risky flights on combat helicopters. It is one of the few available options for ensuring the direct support of troops in battle. The focus also wrote about how the Aligator was destroyed on October 3 on the front line. The tactical group in the Zaporizhzhya direction "landed" one of the helicopters of the invaders with a shot from the MSRC.
