An army aviation crew on a Ka-52 helicopter as part of a mixed tactical group has struck with aerial missiles at the manpower and armored vehicles of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) in the border area of Kursk Region. This was reported by the Russian Defense Ministry on January 12.

In the course of supporting the units of the "North" group, the pilots worked on the given coordinates and hit the armored vehicles, as well as the living force of the AFU with air missiles.

After receiving confirmation from the aviation gunner that the target had been successfully destroyed, the crew performed anti-missile maneuvering with the firing of heat traps to prevent the missiles from hitting the man-portable air defense system (MANPADS).
