In Video: Russian Forces Shot Down Ukrainian Helicopter In Kherson Region

Support SouthFront

 

Russian drone filmed the destruction of the Mi-24 attack helicopter of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the Kherson region. The helicopter was shot down by Russian anti-aircraft gunners of the Dnipro grouping in the air over the western bank of the Dnieper River near the village of Mikhaylovka.

The incident reportedly took place on the morning of August 1. A pair of Ukrainian helicopters took off from the Dolgintsevo airfield located near  the city of Krivyi Rih. They were aimed to strike at the Russian positions on the Zolotaya Balka — Mikhaylovka front with unguided missiles.

The operation was thwarted by the Russian military. Russian servicemen were informed of the upcoming attack in advance and they ambushed Ukrainian helicopters when they were flying over the Dnieper River. As a result, one of the helicopters was shot down. The second crew attempted to approach the crash site but the explosions forced them to retreat and leave the area. The crew of the first helicopter likely did not survive the attack.

According to the reports from the front, the Ukrainian military has recently escalated the hostilities in the Kherson region. Amid the heavy artillery shelling on the Russian eastern bank, several Ukrainian groups attempted to cross the Dnieper River and land on the islands and on the eastern bank over the past day. As a result of the failed operations, at least two Ukrainian boats were reportedly sunk. At the same time, the Air Force of Ukraine resumed attempts to hit Russian military positions in the region.

While the Russian military profit from their dominance in the air and are using their aircraft more often on all the front lines, Ukrainian Air Defense Forces have not intercepted a single Russian aircraft since the beginning of the counter offensive two months ago. In their turn, Russian forces are destroying the remnants of the Ukrainian Air Force over the frontlines.

it’s also necessary to ‘depopulate’ all the thick brits who are on active duty in ukie land.

sas, sbs, mi6 are all guilty of crimes in ukie land and in syria, to name but two thick brit terrorist operations.

esso

number of them have already been depopulated. so, it’s work in progress.

AI8ut

bingo! not if this continues but rather quite clear ukrainian depopulation is taking place and the command is in fact a sellout as you have mentioned.

to be fair, the russians won’t have to wrry much about a local insurgency since ukriane is doing a fair job at eliminating the possibility day by day. the male population of ukraine will be feeble in the coming years due to this conflict. in effect, the population of ukraine will take decades to recover from this.

there is no requirement for the usage of banderites and nazis in the future state of novorossiya. they will scurry back to canada, britain and little usa and become their nazi problem again. (with combat training) most cockroaches hate illumination, these are no different from the other insects.

let’s not be so modest. 170 russian military groups (whatever, since military group is not an exact type of unit) by himars chocolate bars. russians are in disarray sending waves of nato-afu cannon fodder to bandera. imagine then what would happen if they retained their composure and military discipline.oh those russians!

Grumbleduke
