This was reported by the commander of the Ukrainian Armed Forces’ Unmanned Systems Forces, Robert “Madyar” Brovdi.
The Russian helicopter was struck by a fiber-optic FPV drone operated by pilots from the “Baltika” crew of the 1st Battalion “High-Altitude Predators” of the 59th Brigade of the Unmanned Systems Forces near the village of Nadiivka in Donetsk Oblast.
As a result of the strike, the helicopter made an emergency landing, after which its crew attempted to escape.
