Paratroopers shot down the Russian helicopter “Night hunter”/Channel 24 collage in the arsenal of Russian aviation. Servicemen of the air defense unit of the 81st brigade of the Airborne Forces shot down the attack helicopter “Night Hunter”.
This information was reported in the Command of the Air Assault Troops of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Every day more and more enemy equipment is on the list of “losing the enemy”. Ukrainian soldiers are working day and night to protect their homeland from Russian invasion.
On May 13, in the Luhansk region, air defense fighters of the 81st separate airborne brigade of the Airborne Assault Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine “landed” a Russian attack helicopter Mi-28 “Night hunter”.
The DShV Command of the Armed Forces of Ukraine noted that this attack helicopter is designed to search for and destroy tanks and other armored vehicles in conditions of active fire resistance. In particular, he is able to eliminate low-speed air targets and manpower. However, thanks to the Ukrainian Mi-28 fighters, the “night hunter” will never be able to eliminate anything.
Sometimes a hunter can turn into prey, like this Russian helicopter, Ukrainian paratroopers say .
