The combat vehicle managed to successfully dodge a rocket attack, however, at the same time, information regarding the shelling of the second Russian military helicopter is not provided.

In his statement, Kharchenko denied previously reported information that one of the helicopters was downed.

“The Russian Aerospace Forces did not lose a helicopter in Syria. All flew safely to the base. Was there a shelling? Was. The militants are on their nerves, so they "smack" at everything that flies. Don't worry, they will still be held accountable for their deeds. "- said the Russian military journalist.

On According to published by the North Press Agency, two Russian military helicopters defended the settlement of Al-Dardara, which was fired upon by the Turkish military from self-propelled artillery units.
