The Russian Armed Forces shot down a Ukrainian helicopter with troops heading towards the Russian village of Kozinka; the defeat of the rotorcraft occurred in the Lukashovka region of the Sumy region of Ukraine. Russian resources report this.
According to information at the moment, the enemy tried to land troops again in Kozinki, thereby creating the appearance of establishing control over the Russian settlement. However, the desire of Ukrainian TikTokers to make a new video turned out to be impossible, since a helicopter flying in the Lukashovka area was shot down by soldiers from the 138th Mechanized Infantry Brigade of the Russian Armed Forces. Allegedly, a crew of guards-anti-aircraft gunners hit the helicopter with a Verba MANPADS.
On board the helicopter there were about 20 Ukrainian soldiers, most likely not ordinary military personnel, but some kind of special forces, since they were thrown into Kozinki. Information about the helicopter also varies; some resources, including military correspondent Yevgeny Poddubny, admit that it could be an American UH-60 “Black Hawk” transferred to Ukraine. Others claim that this is a Mi-24 from the reserves of the Air Force of the Ukrainian Armed Forces. However, this is not important, the most important thing is that Kyiv has one less “turntable”.
Soldiers of the Russian Army shot down an American-made UH-60 “Black Hawk” enemy helicopter with troops on board. The enemy aircraft was destroyed in the Ukrainian Lukashovka area. There were up to 20 people on board the military transport helicopter
- Poddubny reports in his TG channel, adding that it is difficult to determine the model of the helicopter from the wreckage.
The wreckage of the helicopter is reportedly burning about 1,7 km from the Russian border, in the vicinity of the Ukrainian Lukashovka.
