  1. That would be the first time, right?
    Damn, the development of drones and what they are capable of, looks like a turning point in military history.
    And I expect to see a lot more scary developments in this field.

  4. That looked a lot like the one hit by the Starstreak back in 2022. I assume helicopter downings tend to look alike, but will try to locate that video just to compare.

  5. That’s going to be an epic video in first person view

  6. ‚Mujahedeen unlocked stingers‘ moment. Man, Russians should have really second-thought this whole invasion thing. They’ve lost half their military for 13% of Ukraine in the past 43 months. Completely overestimated their offensive capabilities. Well, I guess that happens when government deliberately erases all facts about foreign support from collective memory of the great patriotic war and gets high on their own farts of military greatness.

  7. thats incredible footage. I have have no idea why they pilot of this helicopter tried to continue flying after being hit.

  8. Yeah, Interceptor drones now have zero chill. I imagine anything with the horsepower and boom to take out a Shahed can mcfuck up a heli.

  9. Amazing news, those helicopter pilots are going to fear the sky like this did in Afghanistan after the US gave the Afghanis some stinger missiles.

  10. I have been waiting for this! Since the beginning of first FPV drone footages I have thought that soon even helicopters aren’t safe from these.

  11. Now imagine if this was an AI-powered autonomous drone whose job is to fly within a pre-defined kill zone and shoot down everything else flying in that zone. Scary future.

  14. Didn’t they shoot down Mi-17 in Myanmar with fpv few months ago? lol I doubt it will be the last one
