Ka-52M helicopter crew destroys AFU stronghold in Kursk border region

As part of a mixed tactical group, an Army aviation crew on a Ka-52M helicopter destroyed a stronghold and personnel of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) in a border area of Kursk Region. Images of the combat operation are published by the Russian Defense Ministry on December 6.

The missiles were launched at the coordinates of the aviation gunner during a combat mission to support units of the "North" group of troops. The advanced aviation spotter subsequently confirmed the elimination of the target.

After the attack, an anti-missile maneuver was performed at extremely low altitude, as well as the firing of heat cannons that prevent the Ukrainian army's man-portable surface-to-air missile system (MANPADS) missiles from hitting the target.
