“A video surfaced allegedly showing the planting of explosive charges on a Russian Ka-52 helicopter by a saboteur on Veretye Air Base, Pskov Oblast - according to Russian media two helicopters there were damaged due to unknown explosions at 30th October.”

“Though we can’t completely confirm the authenticity of the video, the Ukrainian army has never captured 3 Ka-52 helicopters which makes it impossible for this video to be filmed somewhere in Ukraine.”

...the Ukrainian army has never captured 3 Ka-52 helicopters...

About the only way to "capture" a helicopter is by the pilot(s) defecting.

Anyone aware of any helicopters defecting?

Two other aircraft were significantly damaged.


They belonged to the 2nd Squadron of the 17th Army Aviation Brigade of the Western Military District of the Russian Federation. Russian unnamed sources in the mass media emphasize that the skins of the helicopters were damaged.

They also claim that these Ka-52s were allegedly not in flight condition and were undergoing scheduled repairs in the maintenance department. The Russians do not report the causes of the explosions.
