"In 30 seconds he saw an explosion": the Armed Forces commander knocked down the anti -tank complex of Russian helicopter

The "victim of" Javelin "was the helicopter" Alligator ". He worked in Ukrainian positions when the anti -dancing launch of Start deprived him of a chance to land. The Ukrainian fighters knocked out the enemy helicopter with the help of a portable anti -tank missile complex (PTRC) Javelin. The details were shared on March 26 in the Armed Forces Stratcom.

The press service noted that there are a large number of Russian equipment "on the account" of anti -tancists of 36 separate marine infantry brigade. In particular, among the eliminated goals is the KA-52 combat helicopter, known as the "alligator". "The helicopter of the enemy worked on the positions of friendly units. Javelin literally seized the target at the last moment, I made a start and after 30 seconds I saw an explosion in the sky," - recalled the company commander PTRK Yevgen.

The next morning, the defenders were confirmed that the Alligator was destroyed. The military stressed that the Javelin partners were very effective. "This PTRK showed itself well at the beginning of a large -scale invasion, when we defended Nikolaev, then in the Avdiiv and Zaporizhzhya directions, where our unit destroyed a lot of equipment," - said Eugene. According to him, at first the fighters had no experience and were forced to gain it directly in battles.

The warriors had to learn from how to approach, capture the target, choose a fire border and more. "We now pass on the experience to new soldiers," the commander added. We will remind, in the media reported that the French company received a contract for the supply of 400 reconnaissance UAVs to Ukraine. They were designed for civilian use, but hundreds are used on the front line. Czech Foreign Minister Jan Lipavsky said Ukraine could get 1. 5 million artillery shells.
