Ukraine shoots down helicopter by drone for the first time
on 7 August, SBU fighters shot down an attack helicopter using a drone
A Russian Mi-28 attack helicopter was shot down by SBU fighters in the Kursk region with the help of an FPV drone that hit the rear propeller of an enemy helicopter.
Damage to the tail rotor destabilises the helicopter, which goes into an uncontrollable spin followed by a collision with the ground. As it turned out, the landing was enough to kill everyone on board.
MI-28N "Night Hunter" is an attack helicopter designed to search and destroy in conditions of active fire countermeasures tanks and other armoured vehicles, as well as low-speed air targets and manpower.
