One of these helicopters was a Ka-52 Alligator that crashed in territory that had, at the time, been recently liberated from Russian control.
Because of the massive air defense system and anti-aircraft missile deployment by the Ukrainian military, Russian planes avoid Ukrainian airspace and fire missiles from a safe distance.”
