It became known about an American helicopter shot down by the Russian military.

The Soha news agency, citing data from the US military, reported that an unknown Russian complex was able to knock out an AH-64 Apache American combat helicopter. The latter's damage was so severe that he had to make an emergency landing, although the crew of the US Air Force rotorcraft was not injured.

According to data published by Sokha, the AH-64 Apache helicopter made an emergency landing on the ground, although the aircraft did not receive any visible damage. Nevertheless, after a detailed examination, it became known that most of its electronic components were burned by electromagnetic pulses, which was associated with the use of Russian military electronic warfare equipment.

“Last September, a US AH-64 Apache attack helicopter was sent to help a US military convoy that disrupted Russian patrols in Syria. However, in front of the surprised Americans, Apache suddenly lost control. Fortunately, the combat vehicle landed successfully, but it was discovered that some of its components had burned out. The American side believes that the cause of the incident is the activation of some Russian electronic warfare systems. However, no official statement was made due to the lack of convincing evidence. "- said in the material.

Earlier, the news agency Avia.pro also reported on the probable involvement of unidentified electronic warfare equipment in the crashes of US Air Force helicopters over Syria, but, in addition to the data provided by the source, no official comments were made on this matter.
