  5. Too bad they couldn’t take out a helicopter as well. Im guessing they didn’t have a fiber optic drone in the area.

  7. Original comment from the brigade: On the outskirts of Toretsk, a combined air defense missile unit of the 28th Brigade and the 57th Separate Tank Division used the “Igla” to send a Russian Su-25 to permanent parking. The Mi-8 helicopter tried to evacuate the pilot, but failed as well – our FPV calculations of the RV and BBpS operators prevented it from doing so.

    As a result, the helicopter limped back and needs a lot of repairs. The pilot of the enemy Su-25 was left behind.

  8. Wow, multiple posts from multiple angles on this one

  10. Dammit! Was hoping to see the first successful helo hit by a drone there! Like others had said, pretty strong EW presence, but holy shit, that was risky sending in those two air frames into an area where there was an known active MANPAD threat.

  11. Helos are a tough target for drones due to the immense downwash from the main rotor and from the tail rotor.

  13. That could have been super satisfying, but im still satisfied!

  14. I wonder how many decent jet pilots the russians have left.

  15. I’ll give credit where credit is due, that helo crew needs a medal.

  17. Some unique footage here, great to watch. I hope someone’s saving an Su25 for air shows because they’re a rapidly dying breed.

  19. AI drones would be great here. easy target to lock onto
