Details: The aggressors’ helicopters and unmanned aerial vehicles have been permanently operating at Ukrainian positions on the Izium front. Two helicopters took off again today.
One of these helicopters was shot down using an Igla MANPADS (portable air defence system).
Quote: "Yesterday the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine reported that the enemy had stationed a combat-ready Ka-52 helicopter squadron near Izium. And today, thanks to this Kholodnyi Yar unit, the squadron has thinned out a bit. The information that the Alligator was shot down was confirmed by[Ukrainian -ed.] intelligence."
