Ukraine War
Ukraine has published several videos where its forces are seen shooting down Russian helicopters. In the eight months of the war, Russia has lost more than a quarter of its Ka-52 Alligator attack helicopters, as per the UK’s intel report. UK defence ministry’s report says that Putin’s forces have lost at least 23 Ka-52 choppers since February 24. According to the UK, the losses represent more than 25% of the Russian Air Force’s in-service fleet of 90 Ka-52s. The UK’s defence ministry report also reveals that it is “nearly half of Russia’s total helicopter losses in Ukraine”. Why Is Russia lossing so many of its attack helicopters?
