💥 FIRST TIME IN HISTORY: FPV drones take down a Mi‑8 helicopter! Watch the full footage of the helicopter being shot down and finished off.
An FPV drone costs around $1,000, while a Mi‑8 helicopter is about $9 million. Incredible cost-efficiency in war: a cheap drone versus a multi-million-dollar giant!
Operators of the Special Operations Forces of the "Ballista" unit used FPV drones to hunt down an enemy Ka-52 "Alligator".
The helicopter attempted to patrol over Ukrainian fields, but encountered a tactical group.
Enemy FPV drones lie in ambush while operators watch road movement. As soon as a target appears in view, the operator lifts the drone — and then it’s very hard to evade.
Such a drone can wait a long time, because it uses almost no battery while on the ground. And even if the main battery runs out, the detonator has a separate one — the drone then becomes a mine: touch it and it will explode.
Our air-defence troops must monitor not only the sky but also patrol logistics routes, neutralizing these surprises with small arms.
