Russian helicopters combed the positional areas of the US military.

Against the backdrop of several incidents in the northeast of the SAR, the Russian Aerospace Forces sent their attack helicopters to this region. On the eve of the day, two attack rotorcraft of the Russian Aerospace Forces were seen in the area of ​​the routes connecting the city of Kamyshli and Hasaku, where several American military checkpoints are located, created specifically to block the movement of the Russian military through the territory of the SAR.

Experts believe that in this way Russia is trying to demonstrate its presence in this region, and, if necessary, is also ready to provide the necessary resistance to the US Armed Forces.

It is alleged that combat helicopters have been on the Khasak-Kamyshli line for a relatively long time, while it is possible that the territory can be controlled in order to identify illegal checkpoints, as well as to develop countermeasures.

It should be clarified that there is no information about exactly which helicopters patrolled the specified area, while sources cite conflicting information that this is not about Mi-35M helicopters, but about Mi-8 helicopters.
