Russian Helicopter Attacked by Drone
Published 3 months ago
Video purportedly showing a Russian Mi-28 helicopter being attacked by an FPV drone. The event occurred in the skies over Kursk on August 6 and is supposedly the first of its kind. There is no video confirmation of the helicopter’s fate, though a Russian milblogger reported that the damaged aircraft was forced to land and that the crew survived. Even if that is true, a relatively valuable aircraft was neutralized by a small and inexpensive drone.
