Ukrainian drone obliterates Russian helicopter as troops offloading on Snake Island
Express UK ^ | 5/8/2022 | CLAIRE ANDERSON

Posted on 05/08/2022 5:44:38 AM PDT by marcusmaximus

Terrifying video footage captured the moment the Ukrainian Bayraktar-TB2 drone annihilated the Russian Mi-8 transport helicopter on Snake Island. In the chilling black and white footage, human figures can be seen leaving the helicopter moments before it was blown up. The video was published by the Operational Command South.

They said: "We cannot stop doing this.

"We are driving the enemy out of every piece of our land, even from a small island, from the sea, and even from the air."

Meanwhile, another Ukrainian drone took out a Russian landing ship near Snake Island which had been supplying Vladimir Putin's troops with anti-aircraft missiles.

Ukraine released a video claiming to have destroyed the large Serna-type Russian ship in an air strike.

Ukrainian official Anton Gerashchenko later said: "Enemy units remaining on Snake Island remain without air cover and will be destroyed and burned out like cockroaches or locusts."

The attack comes just days after Russia lost two fast-attack Raptor crafts just off Snake Island following a devastating Ukrainian drone strike, the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine claimed.

I have taken the liberty of posting for you so you can enjoy the day off.

“Lies, a Russian drone shot down 20 Ukrainian helicopters”

Yes, you are welcome.

Would you explain how this type of helicopter managed to fly as far as this island given that it was expected to get back? Or do you think Russia operates from Romania or Odessa oblast?

That music is so typical eastern euro. Three decades behind, as usual.

You realize we have P3 reconnaissance plane flying the Black Sea area with a 100 mile electronic range that sees everything. The US is essentially a combatant in this war.

These operations are a direct result of the sinking of the Moskva. Russian ships can no longer provide anti-air cover in the western Black Sea giving Ukraine air superiority on this front.

With control of the air any Russians who enter the region are in for some hurting.

You forgot to mention that Nazi George Soros created this video, as well as the one pretending to be Nancy Pelosi meeting with Zelensky in Kyiv when it was really in Poland.

The last time I was in the market for a TV I watched a baseball game on a large screen TV for a few minutes before I realized it was a video game!

I have not played video games in years and was unaware of just how good the graphics have become.
