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

The crew of a Ka-52M helicopter has struck a Ukrainian Armed Forces (AFU) stronghold and manpower in a border area of Kursk Region with air missiles. This was reported by the Russian Defense Ministry on January 2.

The helicopter acted as part of a mixed tactical group to support units of the "North" group of troops. Destruction of all enemy targets was confirmed by the advanced aviation gunner.

Then the crews performed anti-missile maneuvering at extremely low altitude with the firing of heat traps. This prevents enemy man-portable surface-to-air missiles (MANPADS) from hitting enemy missiles.
