>A Russian Mi-28N attack helicopter was destroyed by an FPV drone in Donetsk region. The pilots of the 59th Brigade of the Unmanned Systems Forces carried out the operation.Apparently this is the first such case during this war.There were attempts before but the drones was swept away by the turbulence on approach. I wonder how did they manage to do it this time.
>>64326482Damn nice. They provably hit it from above then.
LMAO
might have been Mi-8 actually
>*Russian aviation channels write that it was a Mi-8 helicopter. They report that the crew survived.
That's obviously a mi-8>>64326499>crew surviveddamn
>>64326482
>>64326482>I wonder how did they manage to do it this time.Probably approached at full speed and got the angle and lead just right so they didnt have to do any corrections that slowed the drone down. Maybe they also used a faster drone? Like those drone interceptor drones that are apparently a big success.
>>6432649O (Faggot)"Rubicon" village, Kubinka, Moskovskaya oblast in Moscow :-)
>>64326504
mi8
Interceptor drones are much faster and intended for aerial interceptors unlike regular fpv drones
>>64326499>>64326503Did we watch the same video? Everyone on the helicopter got pulped.

>>64326503>>64326531>>64326549>>64326605It kind of look like it's crash landing on the belly. It didn't immediately go down after impact looking at the vid, but it cut too much to have any idea of what happened.
>>64326659with how retards like (((you))) jinx it they'll actually be besieging moscow
>>64326513>Is that one of ours momentsBreak out the special cheetos
>Attach stinger to droneSo have they tried this? Your normal drone won't be able to carry it but I guess the babayaga drone or whatever it is called could do it.
>>64326580It's amazing that it was able to detonate without the usual sensitive wire fuse.
>>64326699too heavy
>>64326659They're defending their motherland from Mongloid hordes. They never set out to capture Moscow. You oth are still not in Kiev >3 years after.

>>64326741>>even a video of a UH-60 being shot down by a FPV drone surfacesThe Mi-8 is more of a Huey
>>64326741The way things are going, we might end up with a real-time version of this only in Vuvuzela
>>64326782It would be pretty funny, but I doubt even the orange nigger can match the kremlin's incompetence.
>>64326616Any good?
>>64326644Same type of heilcopter, but that one got hit by a strela or a stinger and burned up like a meteorite in atmosphere before smashing into the ground as a massive fireball.
>>64326499>crew survived
>>64326817>helicopter returned back to base on its own power
>>64326817>he survived... in our hearts
>>64326499Breaking: im getting word right now that Russian sources say anon is a giant faggot. If you watched the video another drone with explosives hovers over the wreck waiting for survivors
some russian also filmed it from the ground.>>64326846> If you watched the video another drone with explosives hovers over the wreck waiting for survivorsalmost as if my post was from before that video appeared.almost as if I was just quoting a tweet telling what the russians were sayingalmost as if it's not common knowledge that the russians are always lying.
>>64326856>>64326846also, it entierly possible that the pilot(s) survived. the heli is not crashing too hard as you can cleatly see on that video.
>>64326499>Crew survived>Great news>Counting trees in Siberia
>>64326513There's my chippy
>>64326653Are you fucked up on krokodil again, Marina?
>>64326482WOLVERINES!
>>64326578>>64326580Looks more like a Mi-8 than a Mi-28, still pretty nice. Obviously the crew is fucking dead lol. Interesting how they managed to hit it with an FPV quadcopter. If drone technology continues to progress, it will become increasingly complicated to operate helicopters near the frontline in a few months.
The dust cloud from the crash contained no flames or black smoke, suggesting the fuel fire was extinguished.
>>64326596Proudly sponsored by RAID SHADOW LEGENDS, get your drone, dead ziggers and 3000 gold today!
>>64326875
>>64326499This is as believable as "she sailed back to port under her own power".
>>64326861>>Crew survivedThe crew(!). We did see that the fire was mostly the fuel cells in the back / middle of the helicopter. So yes, the crew survived. No words about the cargo. Probably now cargo 200 :)
>>64326918honestly that was more believable since we didn't have a footage of it's sinking in a giant ball of fire
Looks like it lands on its wheels and rolls on them on the ground. Its likely that at least 1 of the pilots survived more or less in one piece. People riding in the back may not have been as lucky.
>>64326904I love this war, former soviets killing Russians is the best tax money I ever spent!
>>64326482You don't need helicopter in land war.

>>64326482Thats a Mi-8 derivative, most likely Mi-8 MTW-5.
>helicopter turns into fireball that approaches earth at 60 mph speed>crew survivedI am starting to doubt those claims from russian MOD
>>64327030John Johnson from Texas Oblast here. I am very concerned, Russia just wants more warm water ports, the Ukraine must just give them all the Black Sea coast and negotiate for Harkov and maybe Kiev.
>>64327078>>64327090it's fine

>>64326578>>64326580> Ohhh... OHHHHH!!!! MOM GET THE CAMERA!!!!
>>64326741Beautifully done.
>>64327022I agree that someone probably survived the crash landing, but the next drone stalking the crash site probably killed any survivors.
>>64326513SHOIGU!!!!
>>64326513
>>64326513>Everything is fine! They landed the chopper safely! The crew's back home!
>>64327101in soviet russia, infantry picks up pilots
They definitely lived
>>64327214unharmed i'd say
>>64327214
>>64327214They're actually healed by the fire due to their elemental nature.
>>64326513Noooo SeagalAnyways.
>>64327214HATO trannies should zoom in and see the calm and collected looks of the helicopter, and all will be known.
>>64327214If you look carefully, you can see the Boris Johnson-shaped hole. Crests have taken to building elaborate slingshots, and firing them at helicopters.
>>64326482Clearly a Mi-8 or 17.Is this the new Russian attempts at false flag firehosing fo Ukrainian claims are questioned?Or just poorly translated?Never know.
>>64327243shooting*
>>64327236>this is fine
>>64327214After a video a few years ago when someone got out of a tank after a flash fire, nothing will surprise me anymore.
>>64326699I like the concept, you could use one of the larger drones to lift a stinger or two up above its usual engagement ceiling to ambush high flying enemy aircraft

>>64327214Fiery but mostly harmless helicopter crash.
>>64327843it's LMAO
>>64326504BLYAT
>>64327882>LMAO
>>64326859It looked pretty good, and then it appeared to start rolling, which is fairly common with choppers.
>>64326482So.Now we're officially at the point where cheap quadcopters can destroy military helicopters.The strategic and doctrinal implications of this will be interesting.
>>64326578How do you even aim when you have this shitty pic quality?>>64326659Guess Germany won WW1 then, since i don't remember any Brits, frogs or burgers making it to the gates of Berlin.
>>64327101i mean, the thing did not explode, so i'm willing to believe some guys made it out. In what state, however, that is another question.
>>64326578>crew survivedgood thing we have a video proof where i can clearly see all of them walking away unharmed
>>64326699They've done (something like) that with a few of their sea drones, not sure they'd be able to do it with the land-based drones (excepting the Spicy Cessnas, but that'd likely be cargo capacity better spent on fuel/explosives).
>>64327214To shreds you say...
>>64326482beautiful. knew it was bound to happen eventually. granted this looks more like an opportunistic ambush that the drone pilot got lucky on but bravo all the same.
>>64327232>Might Rasha still so rich as to equip every mobik with multiple of Shell to prevent fire injuryClearly sanction not of working! We must right to our Duma members and call on Tramp to reset relation with great Russian bear!
>>64327710I like how they don't wish for 'good health' or a 'speedy recovery', but instead for a 'speedy return to duty'.
>>64328327This isnt even the first time, it is thr first time it was filled with "people"
>>64328349thought the only other FPV heli hit we had was the myanmar one?
>>64328364There was at least one during kursk fun run, but i cant seem to find it
>>64326549didn't say survived in a good mood
>>64328364>thought the only other FPV heli hit we had was the myanmar one?A Mi-28 on the ground ate an FPV drone in... fall '23, I want to say?
>>64328330Crutch brigades started being common january
>>64327843>HE'S ALIVE!Not anymore.
>>64328436Did that die down or are they still doing it?
>>64328495Pretty sure they're still doing it, which is what makes it so dark.
>>64326774it obviously landed rather than crashing into a big fireball.
>>64326499That's actually totally possible>No massive fireball when it hit the ground>Bled off energy gradually in a sort of crash landingThere is more than one case where airliners crash land at high speed and people survive. There was one where the thing fucking exploded because it still had fuel, fuselage broke apart and cartwheeled but some people still survived. Not saying a plane crash is as survivable as a car crash but it's not so simple. as long as the crew itself wasnt engulfed in flames and burned to death or the thing went directly in the ground like it was hitting a wall it could be possible.
>>64328373there was hit but Heli survived
>>64326499Everyone made it back to base under their own power. Anything else is HATO lies cumrade,
>>64328789Ok can we talk about this base which is now also on fire...
>>64327214Meh, I could've survived that. No biggie.
>>64326576Hahah
>>64327200Kek
>>64328177On the FPV that was following up on the crash site, there has been at least one body moving. That FPV did not kill that moving buddy tho, because video was CUT OFF (hey russia)
>>64327835I didn't think of it like that. Brutal
>>64326513They finally got him.
>>64328497If only the tsar knew...
>>64329170>he aimed, fatly
>>64327214High res close-up of the helicopter.
>>64326488They got it on the side, hitting a fuel pod.
>Crew survivedReminder the crew is the two pilots, and the heli was filled with infantry.
>>64326499>>64328573Agreed, I think it's survivable, though they're certainly not without injuries>>64326482>>64326488>>64329282Almost certainly from above. This has actually been done before now by the Myanmar anti-junta forces. The junta makes frequent use of helicopters since it's essentially the same mountainous jungle terrain as Vietnam, and the rebels have learned to top attack a couple of helicopters hovering at low altitudes.
>>64328495It's infrequent but I've seen it at least once or twice since then, in more lush conditions
>>64329435Nah, we got video and it looks like the FPV was aiming to hit a vehicle on the road, spots the heli coming its way and re-adjusts to it from the side.
>>64327214It is survivable. The fire is on the outside and left side. Pilots land and exit the right cockpit door.>>64327186This guy is likely injured with some shrapnel and burns.
>>64329723>t.
>>64328789Can we get an edit with "Everything would be fine if it weren't so terrible" over this
>>64329745
>>64329745I see it hit the dirt and roll over and over about half a dozen timesHaving survived a 'coming in hot' landing in a blackhawk once which was maybe about a tenth as bad as that, people get injured, shit breaks and no one had a good time>>64329749weird looking dog
>>64329745Anon... "Manages to return to the earth and didn't explode into a massive fireball" does not mean "everyone was perfectly fine and walked away afterwards" lol. Idk why you're so insistent on trying to prove otherwise.
>>64329749
>>64326490>>64326558>>64326560btfo
>>64329172lol
Were they actually intending on targetting the heli? It comes into view so fast it's almost as if they are going for the vehicle on the road and last second swerve into the path of the heli.
>>64329780>dogThat's clearly a birb
>>64330012Have you never seen a deer
>>64330385What did you post a picture of a rabbit for?
>>64327243>CrestsIs this their new slur? I haven't heard it before the last few days, or at least don't remember it.
>>64330617No you just don't remember or you're extremely new.
>>64330650Not new, but stopped keeping track for a while. Most of the ones I remember were variants on hohol or pig.Dammit man I'm not old enough to be going senile yet.
>>64330617You don't remember >BUM-TOUCHING CRESTS!?What I want to know is what happened to dills
>>64330668Okay now that's starting to sound more familiar.
>>64326817They survived the initial impact of the Khohol drone, but Semyon drop his cigarette, which ignited improperly stored industrial solvents (used for moral building huffing) which started a small fire. The crew suffered inhalation injuries from the fumes and passed away due to complications at hospital (Barn on nearby goat farm)
>>64330617It's actually the old one. That's how most automated translators would translate "khohol(s)" into English. Stemming from the fact that the original word means this stuff some birds have on their heads: https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crest_%28feathers%29The same word would get used for an oldschool ukie cossack haircut, which then got used to call ukie after that.
>>64327671>blackorc downkek
>>64330671It's just khokhol translated, kind of. Talking about the funny Cossack hair thing.Hohol is just that smoothed down.Ukrop is dill if I remember and the epic meme there is is it kind of sounds close to Ukraine or whatever.I enjoy in response the most common slur for Russians you see thrown about is simply calling them faggots and immediately everyone understands everything
>>64330683>>64330698Yeah that's sounding like something I knew at some point. Appreciate the reminder, it's wild how much this shit has changed since we were watching VDV columns finding out the hard way that BMDs are not in fact BMPs.
>>64330698>the most common slur for Russians you see thrown about is simply calling them faggots>that time a twitter roastie got ass blasted that not only soldiers call russians "faggots" in communication, but also call a column of them a "gay (pride) parade" kek.
>>64330700It was kind of neat also finding out that BMD's despite costing millions of dollars each have all the protection of a Lada Niva with its doors stuffed with old magazines
>>64330700thank you for the kind words good stranger
>>64330761The funny thing about that is it's a lesson the VDV had already learned while the Soviets were in Afghanistan. The BMD's job is to be a very light air deployable IFV and in that role it's better than nothing, but if you're operating as the VDV generally do as politically dependable and reasonably competent soldiers on land you 100% want to swap them out for BMPs as quickly as you can.I wonder if the fact that the BMD looks like a 'real' IFV leads to soldiers treating it more like one even if they know the protection sucks.
Do you think they awarded the guy who downed the plane?
>>64329745>controlled landing>cartwheeling in a field while on fireWtf constitutes an uncontrolled landing in Russia?
>>64329776Wtf does 11 "Sukhoi'" mean?
>>64326513New 'jak
>>64326499Yeah. It didn't explode when it hit the ground and skidded upright and intact so they might have actually survived that.
>>64330809Its got a point in that they wanted an air-dropped mobility vehicle with some considerable firepower, storage for gear and then strapped 'amphibious' on top of the whole lot.Which isn't necessarily unachievable but there's compromises in the design to achieve all that, plus its really very expensive. Like people want to say its cheap slavshit but its really not as some of those BMD4's can start creeping up into $4million once you fill them out with all the comms, fire control, weapon systems and everything else with most of them starting at about 3million plus. That is MBT money!So it does have a doctrinal role in airborne opsThing is, Russia barely ever followed its own doctrines! They spent a lot of time, effort and fucking around after getting gang-fucked in Chechnya, then repeatedly punched in the ballsack after Georgia enough that they 'had to' do something in order to make their forces modernised, follow a functional doctrine with real world operational value. It all got written down on paper, then used to wipe their own arseholes on as basically everyone then balled it up and hurled it in the nearest bin
