  1. Any confirmation from the russian side about this loss?

  2. Date: 16.05.2025
    Geolocation: 51.32413,34.56185
    Near the village of Sukhynivka, Kursk Region

    Telegram says it is confirmed that a KA-52 crewmember was killed.

    And the Ballista unit of the Ukrainian SSO is serious guys

  3. That’s definitely the closest I’ve seen a FPV get to a helo

  5. It’s mind-blowing that a $xxx drone can destroy a $xxxxxxx Heli. Warfare has definitely evolved.

  6. Listen these FPV drone videos are neat and all but I wanna see the B roll of this. Like letting the guy pilot for the first time and him crashing into a tree his first solo flight. Like some on who let ole Carl drive!

  7. This video is old, as many in other subs already said

  9. For those interested in more. Supposedly according to news sources:

    – KA52 was on combat patrol over UA.

    – Strike was coordinated with seven FPV drones using Bombus tactical strike UAV system.

    – At least 1 crew was killed and they believe it was Captain Yegorov, from Chuvashia as his obituary was reportedly published the day before the news was released.

    – Russia is believed to have more than 20 operational KA52 left.
