Ukraine’s military intelligence agency GUR says a Magura V5 drone shot down one Russian military helicopter and damaged another.
According to GUR, the battle took place today on the western side of the Crimean peninsula, near the Tarhankut cape.
In the videos published on Viestipalvelu X, you can see how sea drones equipped with missiles are initially fired upon by the machine guns of Mi-8 helicopters. After that, anti-aircraft missiles are fired from the drones, one of which drops the helicopter into the sea.
This is probably the first time in military history that a helicopter is destroyed by a remote-controlled sea drone.
The authenticity of the videos cannot be confirmed.
According to GUR, the missiles fired by the drones damaged another Russian helicopter, but it was able to land at the airport.
