Details: The brigade did not disclose the location or date of the incident. However, sources told Ukrainska Pravda that the strike took place on 28 September 2026 and that the date could not previously be disclosed for security reasons.

The Russian helicopter had been struck by pilots from the Prybultsi (Aliens) air defence missile battalion, the brigade said.

The brigade noted that the target was one of Russia's newest modernised attack helicopters.

"An anti-aircraft FPV drone intercepted the aircraft in mid-air, leaving neither the helicopter nor its crew any chance," the military said.

Background: Ukrainska Pravda previously reported that drone operators from the 427th Brigade, also known as Raroh, had struck a Russian Mi-28 attack helicopter in Russia's Belgorod Oblast.
