The occupiers have lost another combat helicopter. According to Z-channels affiliated with the russian Air Force, it is a Ka-52 helicopter.

In particular, the Aviahub channel writes that one of the crew members was killed. However, there are no details of the incident.

The blogger Fighterbomber also writes about the loss of a combat helicopter. He does not specify which combat vehicle the occupiers lost.

"The morning is not good. We lost another vehicle. The reasons are still unclear," he said.

Instead, he notes that russian attack helicopters are vulnerable to damage by Ukrainian FPV drones. According to him, the main problem of infantry electronic warfare equipment, which could be installed on the Mi-28 and Ka-52, is the lack of electromagnetic compatibility with the helicopters' own radio-electronic systems. That is, electronic warfare can destroy the helicopter itself.

"I think that since yesterday the big bosses have taken this problem seriously," the blogger said, recalling yesterday's destruction of a russian helicopter by a Ukrainian drone.

The Voevoda Broadcasting channel claims that the crew evacuation system from the destroyed helicopter allegedly worked normally. However, one crew member still did not survive.

The Defense Forces have not yet commented on the destruction of another russian army helicopter.

As Ukrainian News Agency earlier reported, on March 20, the Defense Forces of Ukraine shot down a russian Ka-52 helicopter and destroyed the crew while trying to evacuate.
