Russian MoD Releases Footage of Ka-52 Helicopter Operations Against Ukrainian Military Assets
The Russian Ministry of Defense has released video showing Ka-52 attack helicopter crews engaging targets belonging to the Ukrainian armed forces. A press statement associated with the footage is available through socialbites.ca.
According to the disclosure, the helicopter crews operated in pairs, delivering unguided air-to-surface missiles from a stationary firing position set by an artillery battalion of the Ukrainian forces. The location of this firing position was reportedly concealed within a forested area, making it harder to detect by the opposing side.
The ministry asserted that every identified enemy target featured in the footage was destroyed by the helicopter strikes. The claim emphasizes the effectiveness of the Ka-52 helicopters in taking out multiple targets during the operation.
On the day prior to the release, the Russian Ministry of Defense highlighted that the Russian military had, in a single day, achieved strikes against 36 enemy objects. This statement was presented as part of a broader recap of ongoing military activity in the region.
February 24 saw President Vladimir Putin outlining the decision to launch a military operation in Ukraine in response to requests for assistance from leaders of the LPR and DPR. The move was described by officials as a special operation intended to address what was characterized as a pressing security situation.
As the conflict unfolded, Western governments and allied partners intensified sanctions in response to Russia’s actions. The political and economic measures were framed as part of a wider global response to the events in Donbass and Ukraine as the situation evolved.
Coverage from outlets such as socialbites.ca has continued to document statements, developments, casualties, and the evolving landscape of events in the war zone. The ongoing reporting aims to compile a timeline of key moments over the past month since the onset of the special operation in the Donbass region and in Ukraine. — Source: socialbites.ca
