Russian Mi-8 hit by Ukrainian naval drone for the first time

time8 mo agoview48 views

Ukrainian uncrewed naval vehicle "Magura v5" for the first time managed to shoot down Russian Mi-8 helicopter over Black Sea near occupied Crimea. Mi-8 are routinely used to chase the Ukrainian naval drones which were defenseless, until they started to be equipped with R-73 anti-air heat-seeking rockets. Since they were designed to be launched from air, they came with their own challenges in aiming and launching, so this case marks the first successful self-defense of "Magura" drone against Russian helicopter.
