The Armed Forces of Ukraine shot down another enemy helicopter. This time Ka-52 attack helicopter had its last flight in Ukraine.

This is the newest attack helicopter of the Russian Armed Forces, which is traditionally for Kremlin belongs to the “one-of-a-kind” category, but for Ukrainian military men it’s not more than just “scrap metal” to be divided into two groups: those ones which fly no more and those ones which will not fly soon.

Additionally it is stated, that there were two downed helicopters, so we’re expecting for one enemy losses confirmation.

Defense Express notes that even though Ka-52 is equipped with catapults for two crew members, at least one of them didn’t go off properly, which can be explained as a proof of the theory that according to the Russian command, airport handling troops turn catapults off or deliberately fold parachutes incorrectly for their military pilots.

According to preliminary information, the survived Russian pilot (name: Andrei Liulkin) was sent to hospital.

Defense Express reminds, that as of early March 12 the enemy has already lost 83 helicopters and 58 combat jets.
