Ukraine’s armed forces on Wednesday downed four Russian helicopters in 18 minutes in the south of the country.
Between 8.40am and 8.58am, anti-aircraft missile units of Ukraine’s Air Force managed to hit the Russian aircrafts, it was claimed.
“Combat work was carried out on two more helicopters, so there is a high probability that the number of confirmed down helicopters will increase,” the Air Force said in a press release.
It was claimed one Russian helicopter, believed to be a Ka-52, crashed on territory recently liberated from Russian-backed militants, while the rest crashed behind enemy lines.
The helicopters were said to be “providing fire support to ground occupation troops in the southern direction” when they were gunned down.
The claims were partially confirmed by pro-Russian sources on the Telegram messaging app.

But what is interesting to me is watching the same people argue that all the stories of Ukrainian success are lies, and that Russia is inflicting a 5-1 or even 10-1 kill ratio, etc., while simultaneously arguing that the West must stop supporting Ukraine and backing Putin into a corner.
I mean, pick a side already, right? Either 1) the Ukrainian resistance is ineffective, the Russian economy is booming, and Putin is gloating in Moscow, or 2) Ukrainian resistance is effective, the Russian economy is hurting, and Putin is feeling cornered. But the idea that Russia is having massive success and Putin is left with no option but nukes is just ridiculous. Yet, that's the contradictory narrative their pushing in different threads.
“Putin is going to get more junk from Iran? How humiliating for a “super power” to be begging Iran and North Korea for military support.”

Yeah, the United States should really send billions upon billions of dollars into corrupt Ukraine until all Ukrainians are killed and WWIII is cemented. But, hey, at least Russia’s Vladimir Putin is humiliated by receiving support from his allies. Friggin’ stupid comment of yours.
Ghost of Kiev “is believed” to have downed…
This was “partially confirmed by a telegram channel.”
Zeepers! 😂
Yeah, trying to have it both ways....typical.
we must be patient with Russia, she’s “transitioning” from a Superpower to just a mid-level power
everyone please be patient while she goes thru this emotional adjustment process
Nailed it,
KA52 costs $16 million.
SO that’s $64 million for 4.
$96 million for 6.
Nice work Ukraine.
So then you admit that Putin's aim was to recreate the Soviet empire -- and he failed.
Generally the Telegraph is reliable. The Putin Puffer cultists are never reliable.
#16...lol!
“Jacknhoo Putin just told NATO exactly what he’s going to do and he’s not bluffing
So then you admit that Putin’s aim was to recreate the Soviet empire — and he failed.”

Are these Putin’s new reinforcements flying these helicopters? Anyways, good shooting.
At what point did you cross the line and decide to just be anti-American? Have you defected yet?
“partially confirmed by a telegram channel.”
Sucker.
At what point did Congress declare war on Russia?
Why are you a stooge for Globo Homo, pushing for global nuclear war over the 137th adjustment of the borders of The Ukraine, meaning in translation, "The Borderland," which never in history was a country before 1991, and the breakup of the USSR??

‘Travis-KGB’ was co-opted by FSB agents years ago. Unwittingly of course.
