A Russian helicopter that was flying over Russian soldiers in the city of Kherson, started shooting at them by mistake and they shot back at it until it was shot down | Ukraine welcomed the incident and sarcastically called it a “gesture of goodwill”. Just last week, Russia shot down its own $45 million fighter jet in Ukraine
President Putin’s forces shot down their helicopter over Ukraine after it accidentally fired at them. The Ka-52 ‘Alligator’ helicopter, whose cost is estimated at 16 million dollars, was shot down in the city of Kherson, the General Staff of Ukraine revealed.
The Ukrainian officers joked in response about the “gesture of goodwill” from the invading forces. According to the report, three of the helicopters were flown over the occupied area and began firing at the Russian forces stationed there.
The soldiers returned fire and shot down one of the helicopters, the incident greatly embarrassed the Russians who fail to synchronize the infantry forces with the air forces.
Just last week, Russia shot down its own $45 million Su-34M fighter jet in Ukraine. Russian soldiers tried to attack the US-supplied HIMARS rocket launchers that have wreaked havoc on the Russians since they were given to Ukrainian forces. But instead they shot down a plane that fell from the sky over Alchevsk, Luhansk.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky claimed that the losses of the Russian army had climbed to almost 40,000, adding that tens of thousands more were wounded and injured.
