The SBU conducted a special operation: three enemy helicopters destroyed in Crimea
By attacking the military airfield "Kirovske" in the temporarily occupied Crimea, it was possible to destroy three helicopters and an anti-aircraft missile-gun system.

This was reported by the press service of the SBU. It is noted that during the operation, fire strikes were inflicted on the locations of the aviation component, air defense systems, ammunition storage warehouses, as well as reconnaissance and strike UAVs of the enemy.

According to preliminary information, multi-purpose and attack helicopters Mi-8, Mi-26, and Mi-28, as well as the self-propelled S-400 missile system "Pantsir-S1," were destroyed. Additionally, it is known that during the night, secondary detonation occurred at the site of the strike.

"The occupiers must realize that their expensive military equipment and ammunition are unprotected anywhere: neither at the front line, nor in temporarily occupied territories, nor deep in the enemy's rear," – summarized the SBU.
