Militants announced the destruction of the Syrian military helicopter.

A few minutes ago, the "Telegram" community "Military Observer" published information that militants, using a portable anti-aircraft missile system, shot down a Syrian Air Force helicopter.

According to the information provided, the helicopter was shot down over the territory of the province of Hama, while we are talking about the first use by the militants of man-portable air defense systems, however, at the same time, it is emphasized that the information did not find any evidence.

It should be clarified that the Syrian helicopters are actually used by the SAR military for attacking militants in the province of Hama, and a few weeks ago it was reported that Turkey had delivered to the terrorists of the Hayat Tahrir ash-Sham several Stinger man-portable air defense systems, In this connection, the information may well be objective.

According to expert estimates, if the information on the use of man-portable air defense systems by militants is confirmed, then there is a danger for the combat aviation of the Russian Aerospace Forces, in particular, the Su-25 attack aircraft, which also attack terrorists in the provinces of Hama, Lattakia, Idlib and Aleppo.
