Details: Fighterbomber posted a stock photo of a Ka-52 on Monday 27 October, accompanied by the message "Eternal flight, brothers" – apparently indicating the crew's death.

There have been no official statements from the Russian authorities confirming the loss of the helicopter, and Ukraine's defence forces have not reported its destruction or damage either.

For reference: The Ka-52, nicknamed the Alligator (NATO reporting name Hokum B), is a Russian attack helicopter used to reconnoitre and strike ground targets.
