Wreckage of a Mi-35 of the Russian Federation was discovered in the Kharkiv region

A wreckage of a Russian Mi-35 attack helicopter was discovered in the Kharkiv region.

Footage from April featuring the wreckage was published on social media.

It is reported that the Russian pilot hit a power line and crashed.

The event occurred in the Kupiansk district in the northeastern part of the Kharkiv region.

The Russian Mi-35 is beyond repair. At this time, there is no information about the fate of the crew members.

This is not the first occasion that Russian attack helicopters have hit a power line and crashed.

In March of this year, a Russian Ka-52 attack helicopter crashed in the occupied part of Ukraine.

On March 16, the Ka-52 hit a power line and crashed. The death of Russian pilots was also confirmed.

One dead pilot has been identified. He was an officer of the Russian 55th Separate Helicopter Regiment.

The flight of a helicopter at low altitudes over terrain or water surface is used to reduce losses from air defense systems.

However, pilots face a limited view of the terrain visible from the aircraft, which can lead to a crash.

In March of this year, another crashed Russian Mi-35M attack helicopter was discovered in the Kharkiv region.
