This was reported by the Russian Telegram channel Pionergrupa.
The helicopter reportedly managed to escape intense fire from Ukrainian forces, but its control system was compromised and the crew decided to land. Russian Telegram channel Pionergrupa says the helicopter’s crew survived.
According to the published photo, the helicopter crashed due to a hard landing.
The tail section of the Mi-8 was severely damaged and partially separated from the central fuselage. The landing also severely deformed the helicopter’s main rotors. It can also be noticed that one of the blades is missing a part, and the other is severely deformed.
In addition, the helicopter’s undercarriage supports were completely destroyed and its ramp was damaged.
In general, it can be concluded that the body of the helicopter cannot be repaired – due to the heavy landing, it was badly damaged, and this also applies to some other parts of the helicopter, Militarnyj writes.
