On April 10, Russian Mi-24 helicopter crashed in the Black Sea near the western coast of Crimea. The Russian Ministry of Defense confirmed the incident.
According to the local reports, the helicopter crashed in the sea to the west of the Cape Tarkhankut on the western coast of the peninsula. The aircraft was performing an operation aimed to hunt Ukrainian unmanned boats near the coast of the Crimean peninsula. The helicopter was patrolling the area, there were no reports about the destruction of Ukrainian naval drones in the Black Sea over the past day.
According to preliminary reports, the crew of the helicopter died as a result of the crash. The number of victims was not officially revealed. A search and rescue tean was working at the crash site.
According to the Russian Ministry of Defense, the preliminary cause of the incident was a technical malfunction. The investigation is yet to reveal details of the incident.
Ukrainian media attempted to use chance to declare another fake victory. They reported that Ukrainian forces allegedly shot down Russian Ka-27 helicopter over the Black Sea. These reports do not correspond to the reality.
This is far from the first Russian aircraft destroyed in the rear areas, including near the Crimean peninsula. On the evening of March 28, another Russian military aircraft, presumably Su-35SM fighter, crashed into the Black Sea near Sevastopol. The pilot ejected and survived the incident. The local authorities confirmed the incident, but the Russian Ministry of Defense did not officially comment.
Taking into account the experience of the ongoing military operations, the Russian Defense Ministry usually does not comment at all on incidents in the air, which are largely supposed to be caused by Russian friendly fire. For example, the recent crash of the Su-27SM and the losses of two precious AWACS A-50U aircraft over the eastern waters of the Black Sea. Since the Russian military officials provided no details on these incidents, various unofficial sources, including those close to the Russian military, supposed that the aircraft were most likely shot down by Russian air defense forces.
On the other hand, the Russian Ministry of Defense timely confirms the incident caused by technical malfunctions and officially recognizes such losses. Thus, indeed, today’s crash of the Mi-24 helicopter was likely a result of some technical problems.
looks like ukraine still has air defenses after all.
pathetic russians. pathetic in every single level without exceptions dumb fucks. being born a russian you must commited numerious serious sins in your past life, life dnt mean nothing over there not even military men.
butt hurt imbecilic clown squawking
let’s not forget that while over 20 million russians don’t have indoor toilets and many live in shit hole they have plenty of vodka. that helps them forget their lousy dark life and this stupid putin’s war.
how’s the ol’ joint forces operation ethnic cleansing of the donbas going for the failed ukrainian cia project? last of the moskals headed east, and all ready for the great banderite circle jerk in melitopol?
dangit, you always beat me out for zionist bot down voting… truth be known… antisemitism is the goys only path to salvation from the zionist amalek scum.

taking 350 square km land area from ukies during this winter is not much compared the hype russian military and media pushed during whole 2010s. russian economy has lost 1 million workers, many well educated who have left russia after feb 2022.
are you an israeli bot?
you sir, are correct. this lil bitch is working out of haifa…
i think the 100k ukrainians killed during the winter might disagree with you.
so how many citizens has the failed ukrainian cia project lost since 1991? since the 2014 us coup in kiev?
putin is grappling with a labour shortage aggravated by his military mobilisation efforts. more than 350,000 russians have been killed or injured in the war. not far from reality when in nov 2023 there were already names of 40,000 killed russian soldiers excluding quite many missing in action and non battle deaths.
many but diffucalt to verity. many are hidden because they come from isolated regions.
my feellings – feelings – says more then 200.000 but not yet 350.000.
the problem is the russians have 5 to 1 in population. ukraine is being bled white.
not 5 to 1 but less than 4 to 1. besides ukies are fighting for their freedom while rooskies just for imperialism.
the freedom to ethnically cleanse people who voted wrong?
antisemitism or bust. kill all the jews to save the planet… they haz the biggest carbon footprints, steal everything, produce nothing but genocide.
the ukrainians are fighting because they are slaves.
sanctions are working. it’s reasonable to assume that longer journey times for tankers (previously travelling to eu countries) , together with high insurance premiums, have added roughly $30 a barrel to the cost of russian oil sales. natural gas sector has been even much more badly beaten.
russia is selling oil with average price of 60 dollars per barrel but likely 30 up to 50% of that have been lost because sanctions. the net income is around 30-42 dollars of ural blend oil barrel.
peace will be very dangerous for putin when all russian economic problems explodes. soviet union collapsed after afganistan war fiasco and very low oil price.
another great nafomosexual circle jerk. how’s the privatization of the economy of the failed ukrainian cia project coming along? pretty much completely deregulated now like a third-world basket-case?
interesting, this forum has been invaded by german named copebots. along with tom sewers dislike bot. brought to you by operation earnest voice.
welcome to ‘the new jew normal’. the only cure, is the obvious cure. kill the jews, antisemitism is the path to salvation. the only good carpet bagger, is a dead carpet bagger.
russia clearly can’t launch successful major offensive operations anymore. russian military permanently tries human-costly offensive operations in areas like avdiivka or kupyansk, but to very limited success and with heavy casualties. in 2023, russia lost about 1,5 times more military servicemen in the war than in 2022, without making any significant gains. large-scale offensive operations comparable to the full-scale offensive of february-march 2022 are unthinkable.
there was no “full-scale offensive” in february-march, 2022. the russians walked over a vast swathe of the country despite eight years of the us and nato vassals arming, training, supplying, advising and supporting the ukrainian military. and then they just drove away. so how’s that joint forces operation coming along with the ethnic cleansing of donbas?
yeah, its kinda hard to level azovstall while the nazis are holding russian children hostage as human sheilds. typical zionist behaviours. fukking jew trolls, cowards and mouth pieces, all of them. they talk so much sh it they have to change their face diapers 3 times a day….
inconsistent assessment. enemy action would seem to be a reasonable possibility. just as “friendly fire” is curious explanation for the awacs loss given that they are large aircraft with very obvious emissions, yet the russian side does not appear to be shooting down its own far less visible but far more active fighter-bombers. blamey made the point after the pacific war that even at its end when japan was completely defeated, every day still brought news of some allied loss. it is war.
in pacific 1942-45 great majority of both japanese and american aircraft losses were not caused by enemy fire. in some periods 80% or even 90% of losses were accidents caused by very dangerous weather conditions or pilot mistakes/engine problems.
a plane a day in tampa bay.
natostan is getting burned crispy in the rump ukrapper fire and all the civilized world celebrates the destruction of all things anglozionazi. meanwhile $lumville squirms and is bankrupt from the price the zionazi$ are paying in semitic palestine. karma is a wonderful thing as the evil west collapses in a nightmare of transgender migrant $oros insanity. god bless mother russia and the destruction of the demon$.
just like most of russian and pro russia nazis you are full of hate and using sick and brainless hysteric slurs. you with your friends are supporting russian fascism and imperialism.
antisemitism is the path to salvation. if it will bring the rest of us peace from zionist genocide, i’ll pull the trigger with a smile, and a big hail jesus, amen. and a big fuk you to you and your bot crew in haifa. enjoy the weather while u can… cloudy with a chance of khinzal pizza delivery. rothschild over played his murderous hand, he and your ilk have hell to pay now. and you fukking kikes deserve it.
accidents happen, prayers for the crew and families. the baltimore bridge however, was no accident… another ‘free fall’ detonation event, so obvious, you can still find the jewish finger prints all over it….
