Russia reported the loss of a Ka-52 combat helicopter, which was hit by a projectile from the Uragan rocket launcher.

This was told by the Russian pilot Alexey Voevoda in his telegram channel “Voevoda Veshchaet.”

“There is at least one known case of the hit of the “Kashka” (Ka-52 – ed.) by Uragan rocket”, said Alexey Voevoda.

He added that the crew of the Russian combat helicopter had been killed. The Ka-52 crew consists of two people.

Also in his telegram channel, he published a photo from another episode, in which Ka-52 dodged the salvo of the MRL.

“Type of inconsistency. We evaded that time successfully,” added Alexey Voevoda’s description to the photo.

Dates and places of incidents the Russian pilot did not report.

It should be noted that Ka-52 helicopters in the Russian-Ukrainian war were shot down by various weapons. Some of these weapons were not designed to hit helicopters.

In 2022, the Ukrainian military managed to hit the combat helicopters of the invaders with the help of the Stugna-P anti-tank missile system.

Also known cases of Ka-52 “friendly fire.” In 2022, in the Zaporizhzhia region, a Ka-52 was shot down with the help of the Russian Pantsir-S1 anti-aircraft missile and gun system.

As previously reported, Russian telegram bloggers are not the first to report the loss of their own aircraft, which were not previously known. In May of this year, Russia reported the death of pilots of a Su-34 two-seat fighter-bomber.

In September 2023, bloggers talked about the loss of a combat aircraft and the death of a Russian pilot.
