To begin with, it was determined that one of the russian military pilots did not approve of the country’s political leadership’s decision to engage in a full-scale war. The next step was establishing direct contact with the specified military pilot. Ultimately, consent was obtained for productive cooperation.
An important element of the special operation was ensuring the safety of the pilot’s family. His family was safely transported to Ukraine.
The final stage of the operation was the helicopter’s flight to the specified location and its transfer to Ukrainian military personnel.
